Hi, I'm in the process of packaging a new version of basex [1]. A major change is that upstream requires Java7 to build and run.
As such, I changed debian/control to Build-Depends: …, openjdk-7-jdk, … Depends: …, openjdk-7-jre Lintian now complains: $ lintian -i -I --show-overrides --pedantic ../basex_8.0.2-1_all.deb W: basex: incompatible-java-bytecode-format Java7 version (Class format: 51) N: N: The package contains Java class files with a minimum requirement on the N: listed Java version. This Java version is not supported by the default N: JVM in Debian and is therefore likely to be a mistake. N: N: Refer to http://bugs.debian.org/673276 for details. N: N: Severity: normal, Certainty: possible N: N: Check: java, Type: binary N: What is recommended and best practice for a package that requires Java7. Shall I ignore/overwrite the warning?
