may i suggest the following alternative: * tag the CVS with "2.2.0". * release (a final) GNU Crypto 2.2.0. * start moving gnu.crypto.* to Classpath * test Classpath with new crypto classes. * after Classpath 0.20 (or even may be 0.21) retire GNU Crypto. > - Rename the root package 'org.metastatic.jessie' to > 'gnu.javax.net.ssl' in Jessie, and merge the current sources.
