How does the upstream go with it? Do they tell users to download this
lib by themselves? Or do they provide download of it? If yes, then
maybe you could create contrib installer that would fetch the jar
and install in in /usr/share/java ? And you could make argouml depend
on the installer.
I don't know how it looks right now, but when I used ArgoUML it was
under rapid development and any new version was bringing major changes.
So not sure how much sense would it have to have an outdated argouml
in Debian.
Unfortunatelly ArgoUML Project is a perfect example of people who care
of being Open Source but not about being actually Free Software :-(
I remember that I once strongly discussed that they should wrap around
usage of some another non-standard, non-free stuff so that
it were possible to use ArgoUML w/o it. And I think they did. But
I guess that mdr (whatever it is) is much deeper buried in internals of
ArgoUML and you can't sanely live w/o it using some stubs?
