Hello, I'm trying to package protobuf (http://code.google.com/p/protobuf/). The source package will generate C++, Python and Java bindings. Since I'm not knowledgeable with Java, and even less with Java packaging, could someone please look over the Java bits?
The git tree for the packaging is at http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/protobuf.git And a (not-up-to-date with the latest commits) package at: - URL: http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/protobuf - Source repository: deb-src http://mentors.debian.net/debian unstable main contrib non-free - dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/p/protobuf/protobuf_2.0.0~b-1.dsc Note that the Java parts were originally made by another user, and I've taken and changed them a little. Notable points: - upstream uses maven to build, but since this is not really needed and maven resources are not available in Debian we just use a custom ant script - openjdk-6 and the sun-jdk 5 and 6 are the only jdks that can build the package, due the fact that the java.util.regex in classpath is missing some functions (already implemented upstream, I think, but not yet in sid's gcj); since openjdk works, this still allows the package to be in main, right? - I'm not really sure about the naming of the (actual) jars in /usr/share/java... right now I have protobuf-java-2.0.0beta.jar: is the -java part needed? A few other jars in there have such a part Some discussion about the packaging started on debian-mentors at http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2008/07/msg00287.html Thanks in advance, and please keep me CC-ed, I'm not on the list. iustin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
