I've began packaging gcjlib ant task into a .deb: http://spindazzle.org/gcjlib/
I've already filled an ITP: http://bugs.debian.org/310962 And initial package, which passes the lintian tests is available on the mentors repository: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/gcjlib-anttasks/ First, since i'm not a DD, I'm looking for someone to sponser the package(and I assume here will be a good place to look for one:-)) Regardless, I have a couple of questions specific to packaging java .debs, which are not addressed by the java policy * Naming convention The package is neither stand alone program, nor a library, rather, it is an extension for ant. I've followed the convention defined by the "aspectj-anttasks" package, but since it's the only example I could find, i'm uncertain if that is the correct practice * Dependencies I've noticed "aspectj-anttasks" depends only on ant - excluding java-virtual-machine and java-runtime as required by the policy. this seemed to make sense, as ant already depends on them - I've followed this practice, but i'm still not sure if it's the "right way". * Max heap size While package works correctly under the latest Kaffe(thus allowing to be put on main), however, it requires increasing the maximal heap size - I do not see how /usr/bin/ant can pass parameters to the VM from the command line(thus providing a reasonable workaround) - one has to modify /usr/bin/ant manually, which is unaccepable. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
