Well, I guess now is as good a time as any to bring up a problem I have with the current source tarball for 2.4.3. The 2.4.3 tarball contains precompiled jars. Some of these jars are precompiled jboss jars(ick, but forgivable, see below(1)). Some of these jars are non-free, and should NOT be redistributed. I understand the desire to provide a one-stop-shop for getting jboss to work. But then there should be a pristince source package, that does not have all this bundled code inside it. What I am requesting is such a pristine source package. Otherwise, I have to go to great lengths when making a Debian(www.debian.org) package of this software. There is also the point that I can not upload this package to the Debian archive, because it includes non-free code into its source package. I would greatly like to be able to upload this to Debian. list of packages included with jboss, followed by their homepage, then license type: castor: http://castor.exolab.org/ (BSD-like) hsql: http://hsqldb.sf.net/ (BSD) jetty-server: http://jetty.mortbay.org (artistic-like) oswego: http://g.oswego.edu/dl/classes/EDU/oswego/cs/dl/util/concurrent/intro.html (public domain) tyrex: http://tyrex.exolab.org/ (BSD-like) activation: http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/glasgow/jaf.html (sun) jaxp: http://java.sun.com/xml/jaxp/ (sun) jcert: http://java.sun.com/products/jsse/(or j2se/1.4) (sun/export restrictions) jpl-util: http://www.gjt.org/ (unspecified) mail: http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/ (sun) ots-jts: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/ (sun) 1: Additionally, the precompiled jboss jars that are in the source tarball get rebuilt during a build. This means a diff generation sees them as changed, and dpkg-source complains. Would it not be proper, to have proper compile ordering, and have each sub-package use what was just previously built? _______________________________________________ Jboss-development mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development
