OpenOffice and Java
Hello! I have almost ready debian packages for openoffice but they have to bad build-dependancies on non-free: libgpcl and jdk >= 1.2.2. The most interesting thing is that jdk isn't needed during runtime -- openoffice runs fine with it. I just didn't figured out how openoffice can be compiled without _optional_ java bultins. With current jdk license it cannot be put in non-free, right? In this case, openoffice cannot be put in main nor in contrib nor in non-free. So, is my work useless? Hope, we will find some solution.

If they were available already, I would write to debian-devel :) -- Peter Novodvorsky http://www.altlinux.ru/AltLinux Team, Russia Debian.Org http://debian.org/~nidd Debian --- no need to wait for tomorrow.
