Hi again, Do you think it's a good idea to build an installer for jdk-1.2 as well? I've built an experimental package, which is available from: http://www.pobox.com/~julio/debian/jdk1.2-installer/ On Mon, Oct 25, 1999 at 10:48:21AM +0200, Matthias Klose wrote: > It lloks like the

Can a virtual package have a version (to be set by a 'real' package that implements it)? If so, it'd be useful to have java-virtual-machine packages to set their jdk-compliance versions (1.0, 1.1, 1.2) when installing (or being set by update-alternatives), since it's better to bind some packages
