Sorry to interject, but could I make a request that, like unison, this
package be tied into a version. e.g. jikes1.14 distinct from jikes1.22?
That's an intersting objection. Any comments from others? Jari?
I don't think this is worthwhile. As the former jikes maintainer for
several years, I personally know that 1.14 has bugs (some of them mine :)
that were fixed in 1.22, and don't see what versioning a much older
version of jikes will buy you. I am just fine with a single jikes
package, although if Jari wants, you could package 1.14 as the Prev
version simultaneously with 1.22 as the current version (note that there
is no requirement to do this, though, since it IS harder to maintain two
disparate versions of the same project).
Fair enough. I agree with that point. My packages won't conflict anyway,
so I can keep them to myself. Debian dropped the version tie-in as well
(woody had jikes1.14, sarge had just jikes).
I drop my objection, and thank all for their responses.

Shaddy
