Hi, I maintain ITK (package insighttoolkit [1]), a library that provides toolkit for segmentation, registration, and general image analysis. It's written in C++, with generated wrappers for tcl, python, and java.
I've been prodded to package the java wrappers. I'd love some guidance from this crowd to avoid the newbie mistakes. The package I seek to create will contain several java libraries. I'm not packaging a program, nor a compiler, runtime, etc. My first question: is the policy document [2] sufficiently up-to-date for my needs? By this, I mean is the advice in Section 2.4 still valid? The C++ library SOVERSION is 3, so the C++ library package name is libinsighttoolkit3-dev. The java wrappers contain both jni code and java classes. Given this, I should create two packages named libinsighttoolkit3-jni and libinsighttoolkit3-java, right? The upstream sources create a jar named InsightToolkit.jar. In the -java package, shall I rename the jar InsightToolkit-3.18.0.jar with a symlink InsightToolkit.jar -> InsightToolkit-3.18.0.jar? There is no "dh_java". Are there any packaging scripts that might help me? Is there a good example package that I can learn from? Thanks, -Steve [1] http://packages.qa.debian.org/i/insighttoolkit.html [2] http://www.debian.org/doc/packaging-manuals/java-policy/
