The trigger at bootstrap at least is to satisfy a dependency in one of our essential packages. It would be convenient if we could actually trigger the install of the headers via "javac" only when a package explicitly called for system-java-dev. Maybe we could have a real CompileScript for system-java-dev which runs "javac" and then waits for some particular condition to break out of that. Not that I have a clue what that condition would have to be. :-) -- Alexander Hansen, Ph.D. Fink User Liaison My package updates: http://finkakh.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.
