librxtx-java dependencies
Hello The librxtx-java package lists java-runtime as a dependency, which in turn brings along a lot of packages. Would it be reasonable if it depended only on the java-runtime-headless? This new dependency could reduce a lot of unused packages when installed on a server machine as is my case. -- 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

Thanks for pointing this out. This package has just been adopted by the Debian Java Packaging team, and a new version has just been uploaded to debian and maverick [1]. This new version does not depend on java-runtime. It actually does not depend on any java (which is a bug). I agree that it should at least depend on: default-jre-headless. I'll upload the fix for this. Thanks again.

It was decided by Debian Java team that library packages should not depend on runtime unless the package needs a specific version of runtime (1.5 or 1.6).

Onkar Thanks, I just got this clarified on the debian mailing list simultaneously. javahelper fixed that for me last upload without my noticing when I removed all runtimes and replaced them with java:Depends -- 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

Do I understand correctly that you are saying the package depends on non-essential functionality, but doesn't declare that dependency and it's somehow OK?
