Package: java-common
Version: 0.33
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Hi
I have made an attempt to bring the java policy up to date and made some
small changes to make it more compatible with the Debian Policy.
Attached is a patch and a list of the changes. I have also provided these
along with how it would look if this patch is applied at the following
website [#1].
To those of you, who already read my previous draft, please note that I
modified section [2] and [2.1] to [2.4]. The modifications done to
[2] and [2.2] to [2.4] is merely to mention the headless counterpart of
the javaX-runtime packages. However [2.1] has received a few more
modifications, where I have spelled out when a VM providing package may
provide a headless vs a non-headless.
