I can't understand why we don't accept the fact that josm simply doesn't work with some VMs, and so can't depend on a general VM, but only on those that make it work (and, in my opinion, only sun-java* do). Pretending to use a package and wanting not to install its dependencies is a bit too ambitious, I think! And we cannot do anything against the fact that josm doesn't work with gij-4.3. ;-) I don't know when Sun's JVM will be free and packaged in main, but I don't think is would be that incredible waste of time moving josm to contrib until it happens so. > It's also current policy to depend on the virtual package, also this > should be changed in the future as far as i know. Well, I really hope it to be changed, because right now our dependencies are insufficient for josm. :-) Cheers, Giovanni. -- Giovanni Mascellani <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Pisa, Italy Web: http://giomasce.altervista.org SIP: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] / [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG: 0x5F1FBF70 (FP: 1EB6 3D43 E201 4DDF 67BD 003F FCB0 BB5C 5F1F BF70)
