Hopefully that portion of my deb package can be ported over. Yes, the Java viewer works just fine with OpenJDK. For the packages that I create for TigerVNC, I sign the applet with a legitimate code signing cert, however I have yet to see how this can be implemented in any open-source project. As a fall-back, the build system will use a self-signed certificate but with the new Java restrictions on RIAs, it's really advantageous to use a legit certificate, so if you have any ideas how to accomplish this I'm all ears. > (2) Have all of Pierre's Fltk patches been incorporated into the native > > debian Fltk package? > > hm, personally -- don't know. looking at the packaging 1.3.2-6 we have > doesn't seems to carry this one, http://www.fltk.org/str.php?L2599, > which was not even accepted upstream... so we might indeed need to > proceed with a somewhat impaired functionality for now (if that is not > critical fixes) > > If not, the viewer will lack full functionality.

And then we could beef it up ;-) That's more or less what's happening in Fedora, although I believe that most (if not all) of the patches have been merged into Fedora's Fltk. -brian
