IcedTea - a first step towards OpenJDK
IcedTea is a temporary fork of OpenJDK which allows building with a free toolchain and adding/replacing code which is not yet available under a free license. First deb Packages for amd64, i386 and lpia are available at deb http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/ubuntu/ gutsy/ deb-src http://people.ubuntu.com/~doko/ubuntu/ gutsy/ These packages target developers only. Feedback about the following topics is appreciated (on ubuntu-devel-discuss or #ubuntu-java): - packaging and installation issues; the packaging is derived from the sun-javaX packages, so the packages do have the same "features" and bugs. - license issues; we currently cannot upload the packages, because some files still have non-free or no licenses. Unfortunately there doesn't exist yet a list of problematic files. - usability; do packages and applications build and run with the new jre and jdk (focus on main)? Please contact me if you do want to join the packaging and maintainance effort. Thanks for any input.

Belarusian Latin Gnome in Gutsy, hum?
Hello! Belarusian translation team is very angry for Ubuntu being the main desktop distribution not providing the possibility to choose Belarusian Latin translations for Gnome and other projects. There are no Latin gettext files in Ubuntu be-lang-pack as it's for Serbian ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) language. We've waited for the resolution of bug #105289 that was planed for 7.04 by our team but no results. And we see that 7.10 is going to ignore the presence of Be-Latin language too. Is there a possibility to influence on Ubuntu devs to make them do the work? I tried to contact with a man who maintains lang-packs but he is always offline. Are Ubuntu devs so closed for our problems?:( With regards, BooXteR, leader of Gnome Belarusian translation team -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
codecs in /usr/lib/codecs instead of /usr/lib/win32 or vice-versa
Hi all, Please look at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/exaile/+bug/132286 . Now most of the programs look at /usr/lib/win32 for codecs while the codecs are by default installed on /usr/lib/win32 (for e.g. look at w32codecs_20061022-0medibuntu1+build1_i386) when its installed its installed to /usr/lib/codecs as far as I can see, I used archive manager to look into the .deb file & it shows me this /./usr/lib/codecs/ . Could somebody guide what is the preferred way. For now I just dumped all of the codecs to /usr/lib/win32 & mplayer seems to be able to play most of the content fine from /usr/lib/win32. Looking forward for some suggestions on the same.
