Hi, I think after about three years of trying we finally might be able to free those projects depending from libcolt-java. The new libcolt-free-java was created by simply removing the non-free code[2]. So with some luck that this code is not really used (first tests are promising for all packages currently inside Debian) we can move these packages to main. In case the removed code might be needed the option to package freehep jaida which is the (free!) successor of the project the non-free code was derived from.
The first target I was now trying to tackle is libdsol1-java which was injected into SVN[3] by Tim. However this project has several problems which are not actually related to libcolt. Tim, could you please help sorting this out? 1. The debian/get-orig-source.sh file was pointing to a CVS which does not seem to exist any more. The project was moved to SourceForge CVS but I have no idea how we could drain series 1.6.x from there. 2. Despite the fact that debian/get-orig-source.sh said: # We just assume that DSOL is v1.6.9 as it's not been updated in ever. the download page[4] has 1.6.10 3. To complete the confusion about versions the dsol-1.6 folder on SourceForge[5] has version 1.6.2 and 1.6.6 4. In march 2014 2.1.0 was released on SourceForge[6] and this is most probably based on the code the debian/get-orig-source.sh I have commited now is fetching from CVS. Tim, could you please check out whether version 2.1.0 of libdsol will work for your final target? Since this seems to be maintained I would prefer to package this. If this is not the case I would volunteer to contact the authors about a reliable way to fetch the source of the latest 1.6.x series files. Kind regards Andreas.
