Good idea. Also, when building a debian package, it's preferable to patch the build.xml file, not to modify it and then make your .orig.tar.gz. The .orig tarball must be as close as the original one (but you can remove libraries and documentations, everything you will generate), but do not modify any file in it. > Is there a debian-java IRC channel to ask questions in real-time? > Normally debian developers don't know java packaging particularities. No, but you can have debian informations on #debian-devel or on #debian-mentors, also, if you xant to meet some free-java developers, they meet on #classpath, #sablevm and #kaffe.
