Hey Looking at the section/name/description I think this is something the Debian Sciene team might interested in[1]. That being said, the package contains a lot of pre-compiled Jar files including biomaj itself. The package must be compiled from source it is to go into main. Even for a non-free package you should use the packaged version of Java libraries available in main/contrib/non-free (e.g. ant, commons-cli etc. are packed). If you use apt-file you can find many of these by apt-file search <jar> - or - apt-file search usr/share/java | less We also have a gzip'ed text file that can map a Java class to Debian package if the approach above does not help you[2]. I believe "zgrep $classname jar-content.txt.gz" should do. The install files can be greatly simplified. If you specific a directory dh_install will install everything below that directory as well. Running lintian on the resulting binary file reveals a lot (potential) issues you may want to look at. The dsc file is generated as a native Debian package (no orig.tar.gz), but the source format is specied as "3.0 (quilt)" which is a non-native format. Pack all the sources excluding the debian/ in biomaj_<version>.orig.tar.gz and put it in the parent directory of the unpacked sources. There are other issues as well, but I think this should be enough to start on. Also, if you have not read these, you may want to have a look at: New Maintainer's Guide http://www.debian.org/doc/maint-guide/ The Mentor FAQ http://wiki.debian.org/DebianMentorsFaq The Debian Policy (terse, but when in doubt ...) http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy The Java Policy http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/ The Science team also have a draft policy. - NB: I have not read that, so I do not know how good/helpful it is. http://debian-science.alioth.debian.org/debian-science-policy.html ~Niels [1] http://wiki.debian.org/DebianScience [2] http://ftp-master.debian.org/users/twerner/jar-content.txt.gz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJNJabCAAoJEAVLu599gGRCGJEQAKc96tECBMvwRvDqjfv9rbtK CRrQ+9le2BKVbEzeGorDpVVLIgK5d+BFk3VcePHFreouFtZO6KDFmA8XSXFkpfge B7f7OBbYuZ0cXgrSnNRjnOcK6jyqwaJ/5OOg++aPxGG7oIDBzRa5X9izwuNAS0h4 KF+BU8AAU4Kre5zrbki9y229aXUCFDwy6cAP/M1oX/Z41eA7odMXfNAo1hiRDtnR ahqLHi9/Fo+L8Pr2PVYux5o25b0Crw9dlqD/ZOD89kWAajdvIkeCNIrRJmrsZvof BEY1j7lP6RJl1W/5kyZB3dXOuITkhbDdwT3I9HVOhI1/PAXIHzyeQjNzMfwbP9WA G00foHii4ZUDfTzapMAZf9iB7uUE8bdiPn7l/ME/yLuz+xn4aKRoqK0YbYa8ESrH qEAEcMT8mwFuCfc+YqmGWV23eGhoGzTuNQYQ91DlWgaRmDRj54Y5r4U7m2dKPlGT Z9YClNQGJCfKHRY8BwBipGNDDhUaHCR78TwJ3nDpniza1CUHsE/Ek+QJNDdtZliR qlSR6cg4IN64upismU8Oukh8OlhhLq9JjQwyU9L+MmtwmkYKtoR28YbGEbVSoxao GfyGPofDh2gI5/It4MFAnae6bHY9s47AIpoIGqsskkoMr/SHMeyiNbnfKFaZUZfi KoQVMPJR6GNaHGCyWCs1 =OnpB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
