Do you really just want to use some installer and run that and call that a "debian package"? Shouldnt you instead build everything, which means freenet.jar on one side and every package in freenet-ext.jar from source and create your .deb files for them, which are then used? > > 2.

And since i dont know of any working package on any distro to completly build GWT from source, i dont see it happen in the near future. I also hope, that GWT wont become required until there are at least working instructions to build GWT completly from source without the help of precompiled libs or jars. > > 3.

I have splitted it completly into pieces and do build them from source, so it is at least possible and working. However, be aware, that freenet does create broken archives for inserted directories with >=ant-core-1.8 > 4.

Using the java wrapper should not be a problem, if it is properly packaged. But freenet should not autoupdate itself, instead, it should be updated via package manager as any other packaged program. -- Thomas Sachau Gentoo Linux Developer -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
