hello list,
I have uploaded an experimental version of java-common to my account on people.debian.org. You can fetch it at: http://people.debian.org/~mkoch/java-common/ This version adds a debconf dialog to the postinst script of java-common. Its now possible to configure the system Java runtime with update-java-alternative and have a nice debconf frontend. People just need to run dpkg-reconfigure java-common as root. To make this all work we have to add *.jinfo files to each runtime we have in Debian. Currently java-gcj-compat and SUN JDK (from non-free) have this. I would be good to add a paragraph to the policy about this. Any opinions about this? Cheers, Michael BTW: This version is not commited to pkg-java SVN repository. It will not be in its current form. It needs much more polishing. This is just a prototype. -- Escape the Java Trap with GNU Classpath! http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/java-trap.html Join the community at http://planet.classpath.org/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
