Hello, I progressed a bit on the packaging of twitter4j in debian, and I'm stuck on a problem: it includes some code of Json, which licence states that it shall not be used to do evil, only good. According to #585468 for example, this is considered non-free in debian, and cannot be uploaded as is.
For that reason, the json code of twitter4j should be removed and replaced by a free implementation, such as libjson-simple-java - Simple, lightweight and efficient JSON toolkit for Java libjackson-json-java - streaming fast powerful standard conformant json processor in java libjettison-java - collection of StAX parsers and writers for JSON libjson-java - library for transforming Java objects and XML to JSON and back again libxstream-java - Java library to serialize objects to XML and back again This is however probably too much work for me considered the use I planned for the library. Since I'm also upstream of JLM that currently depends on twitter4j, I'll probably modify JLM so that it uses status.net instead of twitter. Anyway. I just pushed into the git the current state of the packaging, in the hope that the next one wanting to package this software will find it useful. git+ssh://git.debian.org/git/pkg-java/twitter4j.git Thanks for the fish, Mt. -- Si vous pensez que l'éducation coûte cher, essayez l'ignorance.
