[sent to debian-java@lists.debian.org and [EMAIL PROTECTED]
For packaging we currently use a build dependency on a package which
we did agree for packaging (java-gcj-compat-dev). Now with other more
conformant Java implementations available, we might want to change to
those implementations for building the packages in the archive. It
looks like we won't have stuff like OpenJDK and IcedTea available for
all architectures, but might be able to replace some parts with
alternate implementations, e.g. replacing the VM with cacao for some
architectures. This will result in different package names for
different architectures. Therefore I'd like to introduce dependency
packages which can be used / referenced across platforms. The
packages itself are empty except for distro-jre-headless which
contains a symbolic link
/usr/lib/jvm/distro-java -> java-gcj
These packages itself don't hold any other binaries and/or links to
the referenced packages. We might need to discuss what we minimally
expect from a package claiming to provide a certain version of a
runtime. The "upstream" version of these packages corresponds to the
provided runtime (use 1.5 or 5)? These packages are proposed to be
built from the java-common package.
Comments?
