Hi all, finally I've done the new discussed structure for the ant source package. You can find it for further review at:
http://www.home.uos.de/wbaer/downloads/ant_reorganized/ The structure is as follows: ant - scripts and core tasks ant-optional - optional tasks ant-doc - manual and javadocs I think this is really a clean separation as upstream does into core and optional tasks. The package is lintian and linda clean ... As part of this reorganisation (like moving manual to ant-doc, moving optional tasks to ant-optional - see changelog for all) this ant package will conflict with libant1.6-java. This means the following package will need to go through the ant transition (after ant is uploaded) soon as they won't be installable together with ant: Marcus Crafter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> forrest groovy Debian Java Maintainers <pkg-java-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org> ecj-bootstrap tomcat4 velocity (I will take care of this - see below) Furthermore some package already gone through the transition need to be uploaded once more because through the old dependency from ant to libant1.6-java the optional task were available if one build-dep on ant. This is no longer the case as ant only recommends ant-optional. Which is the right thing (IMHO) as otherwise a split into two packages would be useless. So packages which for example use the junit ant tasks for running junit testcases during build time need to build-dep on ant and ant-optional (basically only on ant-optional as this deps on ant - however the dependency is stated clearer if one build-deps on both) Some already transitioned packages therefore needs to be reuploaded with an added build-dep on ant-optional: liblogkit-java libstruts1.2-java libxpp2-java libxpp3-java velocity I will take care of these ! If you have already transitioned a package please check for it !
