s/Etch/Experimental/, I see. Which is fine. (: Thanks for working with us on this! > * Depend upon kaffe >= 1.1.6 as the Java bindings do not compile > with kaffe 1.1.5. I assume you meant 2:1.1.6, since etch is at 2:1.1.6-x and breezy is at 2:1.1.5-x. See the discussion of the "epoch" in Debian Policy 5.6.12: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-controlfields.html#s-f-Version I'll add that to the Build-Depends. (As you said later, we don't know whether it's needed in Depends, so I won't bother with it there. Let me know if you find out otherwise.) > * Add junit to BuildDepends and pass --with-junit to configure so > that 'make check-javahl' can be run.

That's libapr0's responsibility - it should get this stuff right. If not, that's where to file the bugs.

I'll investigate - if that's what that does, I'm all for it. Thanks again, Peter
