Further more, there are a slew of other .jars which a JBoss build depends on. I don't understand why you need a buildmagic deb, nor am I sure what that deb would even consist of.
If this is going to be released to the mass of debian users I would like to know the full details of the package and how it will be maintained with respect to version updates. I don't object to the package, but I question its usage and usefulness. --jason On Wed, 14 Nov 2001, David Budworth wrote: > Can you put a package in debian main that depends on a non-free software? > > Remember, JBoss 3.0 DEPENDS on jdk 1.3.x, and there is no free version of > that. > > Nor is there a .deb for it at all in non-free/contrib. > > I don't believe IBM has a 1.3x .deb, and kaffe definately doesn't support it. > > As much as I'd like to see JBoss in debian, I can't see how you can put a > dependancy on a JDK that doesn't exist as far as debian is concerned. > > Or are you somehow putting sun/blackdown in the contrib/non-free tree? > > > On Wednesday 14 November 2001 03:43pm, Adam Heath wrote: > > On Wed, 14 Nov 2001, Jason Dillon wrote: > > > Why do you need a planet57 .deb ? > > > > A package in debian needs to be able to build with software in debian. > > Since planet57 does not exist in debian, I'm making a deb of it. > > > > This way, debian/control can contain a Build-Depends on > > planet57-buildmagic.deb.
