The old lib-gnu.getopt-java provided only class files in /usr/share/java/repositories/. I remaind it for backward compatibility. However if nobody use them, class files should be removed. BTW, how can I find the packages which depend lib-gnu.getopt-java? > 1) Am I correct that I should be creating a .jar rather than > installing the 16 class files individually?

I should change getopt;) html/ is good place:) But, I like separated package for javadoc and manual like libnbio-java-doc though I don't finish some of my packages. lib*-java-doc packages be discussed debian-java (but I forget where...). BTW, javadoc place are disscussed other thread: http://lists.debian.org/debian-java/2001/debian-java-200111/msg00012.html But currently, javadoc is placed individual directory. > 3) There are two conflicting values for the preferred location > of JNI shared libraries - /usr/lib/java and /usr/lib/java/jni. > Which is correct? There are other native interface for Java like CNI(cygnus native interface) and KNI (kaffe native interface). That's the reason why I support /usr/lib/java/jni for JNI. One more thing, JNI will be improved for JDK1.4. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/docs/guide/jni/jni-14.html So, maybe we should provide following two directory: /usr/lib/java/jni-1.2 /usr/lib/java/jni-1.4 > 4) Is it my responsibility to ensure that the system-wide > $LD_LIBRARY_PATH includes /usr/lib/java (or /usr/lib/java/jni), > so that the JNI libraries are found? IMO, You should not defined it. Because JNI libraries are used by only Java applications. Java applications should define $LD_LIBRARY_PATH when they are executed. regards, ---- Takashi Okamoto -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
