The best option for fonts is to have the text rendering code, using fontconfig or similar, dynamically load the right fonts at runtime for the text being rendered. This way it doesn't matter if the fonts are in the user's home directory (~/.fonts), in the system fonts directory (/usr/local/share/fonts) or in the distro fonts directory (/usr/share/fonts) and it also doesn't matter which fonts are installed, if there are fonts containing the needed characters for the text being rendered, then the characters will be rendered from the available fonts.

Hi all, I noticed that the jlint package was removed. jlint is a static analysis tool for Java.

This is mostly equivalent to 3 since the libtzdbtools-java package would pull in -headless to run the code.

Anything that has been automatically generated based on other files in the upstream source releases or version control system probably should not be present in the source package and instead should be automatically generated at build time. Some examples: .jar files, .class files. I don't know enough about Java to list any more though but that should be enough of a guide. lintian can find some of these things and so can suspicious-source from devscripts. There are some other heuristics that can be used, like grepping for 'generated' but ultimately there is no substitute for looking at each file manually and determining how it was created. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Java and security
Interesting quote from Coverity about FOSS implemented in Java: http://www.newswire.ca/en/story/1339341/coverity-scan-report-finds-open-source-software-quality-outpaces-proprietary-code-for-the-first-time The Coverity analysis found that developers contributing to open source Java projects are not fixing as many high-impact defects as developers contributing to open source C/C++ projects. Java project developers participating in the Scan service only fixed 13 percent of the identified resource leaks, whereas participating C/C++ developers fixed 46 percent. This could be caused in part by a false sense of security within the Java programming community, due to protections built into the language, such as garbage collection. However, garbage collection can be unpredictable and cannot address system resources so these projects are at risk. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

In general, if you are running the upstream version that fixes the issues, then you have the same fixes, plus any issues fixed by Debian. openjdk-7 7u21 is in jessie and sid, so if you are using openjdk-7 from there then you have the fixes from Oracle OpenJDK 7u21. openjdk-7 7u21 is not yet in wheezy though.

Re: Copyright assignement for Debian tools?
The Debian Project is not a legal entity so you can't assign copyright to it. See the replies about SPI/FSF/etc though. If you are contributing to copyleft projects, it is important to have diverse copyright holders to prevent converting projects to proprietary licenses. The package you are contributing to is permissively licensed and can become proprietary easily anyway, so this doesn't apply to your situation though. My advice would just to put "Copyright 2013 Thomas Koch" and a DFSG-free license, anything else would be more effort on your part. If you don't want to be a copyright holder ever, your choices are to stop creating copyrightable materials or time travel to before 1886 and take it up with the Berne Convention authors. There is also work-for-hire situations in various jurisdictions and tedious copyright assignment procedures in many others. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Since sunflow is hosted at sourceforge.net the project can be taken over by anyone with an account: http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/sourceforge/wiki/Abandoned%20Project%20Takeovers It might be worth talking sweethome3d folks into taking over sunflow and releasing a new version with their changes, or doing so yourself. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Another option might be to get the tango source package to produce something like this: http://tango.freedesktop.org/User:Heuermh > Is there any way to use directly the icons at /usr/share/icons from > java, without breaking other platforms?

icedtea status?
Hi all, Does anyone know what is holding the Ubuntu icedtea package out of Debian? Are the licence issues still a problem? I see there is some packaging in SVN. I'm watching the Lenny freeze slowly approaching and wondering if Debian will see OpenJDK/IcedTea packages early enough for all those contrib Java-based packages to move to main. Also, is icedtea appropriate to have in a stable release, or should only OpenJDK be in stable? http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/distro-pkg-dev/2007-December/000810.html In any case it would be nice to have IcedTea in experimental at least. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

My thought was that it was trying to download code that corresponds to your system, maybe using some architecture name provided by java in the URL, and the download site only having the windows filename but not the Linux filename.

Sounds like it might be trying to download and run some native code, but fails because the site only has Win32 code rather than both Windows and Linux code.
