FWIW, OpenOffice will install and run without Java on the system, at

why we can't have a separate openoffice-java in contrib for people
that want the Java support.

According to Peter, they won't build without a version of Java we don't
have in the archive, even in non-free. So the whole thing has to go into
contrib and be manually built on each system.

OpenOffice and Java

2001-10-21 Thread Peter Novodvorsky
Hello!

I  have almost ready debian packages for openoffice but they have to
bad build-dependancies on non-free: libgpcl  and jdk = 1.2.2.
The most interesting thing is that jdk isn't needed during
runtime -- openoffice runs fine with it. I just didn't figured out
how openoffice can be compiled without _optional_ java bultins.

With current jdk license it cannot be put in non-free, right? In this
case,  openoffice cannot be put in main nor in contrib nor  in non-free.

So, is my work useless?

Hope, we will find some solution.

Thanks,

Are they available for testing somewhere?

If they were available already, I would write to debian-devel :)
