That's most helpful, thank you! I see one outstanding bug, which includes a patch ... I'll have a play with that. It occurs to me there must have been some semi-automated way to produce the recent Oracle Java packages. Were these done with java-package, or by some other means? Because duplicating that setup would, of course, produce debs just right to replace the debs of old Sun versions. - d. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
