Happens all the time, not only for the first-timers ;-) > (Does the package go in main? It goes into main if and only if it can be built and ran with software from main. > What are the correct dependencies/build dependencies? etc.) Build-Depends is, as the name suggests, list of packages that have to be installed on a system, so that someone could build the package from source. Depends: is the list of packages needed at runtime, to run the software when a package is installed in system. > Could someone with more debian-java experience please review? > > http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=247638 > http://www.jab.org/lucene Firstly, usually complete set of things to build package from source is: 1. *.orig.tar.gz file, 2. *.diff.gz file, 3. *.dsc file. One can then execute: "dpkg-source -x *.dsc" to unpack and patch the sources automatically. Though, your .tar.gz was good enough to do some small testing. You seems to be missing "ant" in Build-Depends: field. After installing "ant" i was able to successfuly build the package (using Sun's JDK), so the packaging looks good. This of course means that the package stays in "contrib" (for now at least). I really wonder, but if you could get the package built (and later run it) with i.e. * libant1.6-java * new SableVM 1.1.5 packages [*] * free-java-sdk debian package as JAVA_HOME environment, then you could put the package in "main". Hope this helps, Grzegorz B.
