Bug#729943: jarwrapper: pass only 48 chars of Debian-Java-Parameters

Good point. It's just that dependencies on perl-base are so rare probably
because ${perl:Depends} never expands as perl-base but only as perl.
I'll update dependency to perl-base. I think it should be just enough.
Thanks.

Actually, you should probably just drop the dependency, since perl-base
is essential (and therefore causes a lintian error if you depend on it
without version).

You're right, depends-on-essential-package-without-using-version it is.
Perhaps the best would be to Depend on ${perl:Depends}. For jarwrapper it
expands to empty string.
Also ${perl:Depends} is missing from javahelper's Depends where (if added)
it expands to perl. I'll add ${perl:Depends} to Depends of javahelper as
the latter is actually using Perl scripts.

This bug (potentially) affect ~40 packages...

Bug#729943: jarwrapper: pass only 48 chars of Debian-Java-Parameters
Hi Dmitry, I checked the suggested regexp and I confirm it parses properly the manifest entries. It's a bit sad to add a dependency on perl just for this though. Could you please commit your changes on alioth and upload a regular update instead? That would save the need to ack a NMU.

I feel comfortable with Perl as dependency. I'm not too comfortable with sed that is (IMHO) much harder to use not to mention that sometimes it is just not sufficient... Could you please commit your changes on alioth and upload a regular update instead? That would save the need to ack a NMU. Someone recently approved my request to join pkg-java (thanks if it were you) so I can do team uploads now. Perhaps I'll just include fix for #699180 as well... I've made all the changes in my local git clone of javatools but Alioth still not allow me to push (perhaps because I was added just recently). I'll wait some hours and try again... -- All the best, Dmitry Smirnov. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part. __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers.
