For those who care about batik
Hello, I've done quite a good deal of work to get the newer upstream version of batik working, and I've picked up quite a few patches from here and there too (credits given in the changelog). This resulted in an upload to main/experimental a few days ago, that still has to go through the NEW queue (contrib to main...), along with an upload to the same place for xmlgraphics-common. The upload is to experimental, because I'm not sure I won't break reverse dependencies, and also because there are some functionalities that I did find were not working properly: * JPEG output for rasterizer does not seem to work even with sun's pristine Java * I never got squiggle to work (and that was also true for the previous, very old version). * I have no idea of how rdepends should work and how they interact with batik so I could not check that. As I probably lack the skills to deal with that, I would like that some of you interested in batik (if only because you're one of the rdepends) check that the newer version works as you expected. Batik is in the pkg-java SVN repository (check out the QA page). If everything is working fine, we should also check if rdepends of batik could not be moved to main, that would be quite great ! Thanks in advance to potential helpers ;-) !

I'm one of your future-reverse-depends (see ITP #281346 about jasperreports :) > * I have no idea of how rdepends should work and how they interact > with batik so I could not check that. I've just rebuild your package via pkg-java svn and try to rebuild my jasperreports one. Here is some comments : - Maybe you should create a NEWS entry about JAR name change : batik.jar doesn't exist anymore, the symlink is now batik-all.jar - Same for xml-apis-ext which is now required on classpath (compile and runtime) Concerning FOP, which has high coupling with batik : - Build : it seems to build OK when changing Build-Depends and Ant classpath during build - Run : debian/fop.sh need to be ajusted to include xml-apis-ext.jar in DIRLIBS. Just generate a PDF from a source FO which include some SVG graphs. Please note that, I've not tested fop extensively, just with some old FO documents with simple SVG. As a side note, fop upstream recommend [1] using batik version which come with theirs tarballs : batik 1.6 with FOP 0.94 and batik 1.7 with FOP 0.95 Cheers, -- Damien Raude-Morvan / www.drazzib.com [1] http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/fop/faq.html signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I just need someone to upload it for me. ;) Sylvestre -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

As I was the one who updated batik in Ubuntu I want to ask few comments about the differences between Ubuntu packaging and Debian packaging. I haven't yet tried to build the package. 1. Are you sure following change is correct - * Removing 02_fix_jar_target, no longer applicable The reason I ask is because I refreshed that patch in Ubuntu. If you remove that patch you end up with same class files in batik-all-1.7.jar as well as batik-libs-1.7.jar files i.e. files that should go only in batik-ext-1.7.jar will be included in batik-libs-1.7.jar. 2. You have not added 'xmlgraphics-commons-1.2' and 'xml-apis-ext' to DEB_JARS. This is likely to cause build failure on build server. In case I get enough time to verify it in pbuilder I will let you know. 3. Also Ubuntu version contains following symlinks which you may want to add to Debian version as well. batik-ext.jar -> batik-ext-1.7.jar batik-libs.jar -> batik-libs-1.7.jar batik-1.7.jar -> batik-all-1.7.jar batik-all.jar -> batik-all-1.7.jar batik.jar -> batik-all-1.7.jar I will let you know if find any more important differences.
