Alright, I've gone and updated debian.git to use up-to-date packaging standards. Hopefully it's more simpler too. I've temporarily disabled the GWT requirement. This is easier to maintain than bundling GWT, but in the long run (i.e. to meet Debian policy) we will need to: - package GWT for debian again (very hard), or - remove the relevant stuff that requires GWT from fred >> One thing to note is that ./build-freenet-daemon.sh contains some out-dated >> practise for building a debian package. >> There are also things in debian/TODO to take note of.

But if you think it's better, feel free to add a "upstream" branch without the debian/* directory, and maybe even a "pristine-tar" branch. I went through your work and incorporated some of it, such as fixing https links etc. Here are some more comments: - Freenet is heavily integrated with the Java Service Wrapper. If we do add systemd support, it will have to be via the wrapper, and I don't know if upstream are working on that. - We need to update libbcprov-java in Debian. I think it's much better to do this, than to bundle our own. Updating a Debian package usually not hard, if you read up on the relevant docs beforehand. It is much easier than bundling extra libs in another package. - We shouldn't use legacy-29 in the Debian package. Someone should work on dropping legacy-29 from fred, rather than backporting support for it into other products. When built with the master branch of contrib, the debian packaging will use the latest version of everything in Debian, including the wrapper. There should be no version mismatch, since we automatically generate /etc/init.d/freenet-daemon during the build, from the latest version of the wrapper.
