I guess you should probably ask the authors. I did some googling about tar.gz / tgz site:www.acme.com and got several hits inside some Java source files (for instance http://www.acme.com/resources/classes/Acme/Spider.java) to http://www.acme.com/resources/classes/Acme.tar.gz saying "Fetch the entire Acme package." ... but this files does not exist at this server.
I don't have any ideas yet about netscape.jar
This question was partly answered by Daniel. I would try to find out the real purpose of this jar and consider replacing it by something which might be provided by mozilla.org. But this is just a wild guess and I have no idea whether this strategy is mromissing.
PS: you debian-med guys are closely following ITPs, it seems
Yes. ;-)
PPS: for the same reasons as for jalview, I think it will end up in pkg-java, as java packaging is something rather painful and delicate...
I would be in big favour of this. After a lengthy mail conversiation about pkg-escience and a phone call between Steffen Möller and me I think it is fine if you move the packaging SVN from pkg-escience tp pkg-java - after having checked back with Steffen for sure.
PPPS: would it make sense to have debian-med (or the @lists.alioth equivalent) uploader for Jmol and Jalview ?
IMHO there are three teams interested in this package: 1. pkg-java: high technical competence but has gathered a lot of packages and problems might be hidden amongst the amount of other issues. 2. Debichem: Interested in this package, but I can not comment on their interest according to maintenance 3. Debian Med: Only few Java competence, but interested in the package. If you do not mind to joind the Debian Med team you are welcome to use Debian-Med Packaging Team <debian-med-packag...@lists.alioth.debian.org> as maintainer address. Kind regards and thanks for your work on Jmol Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
