I agree, shipping the jars from the upstream source is quite a violation of Debian's policy, so this upload won't be accepted I think. I've already begun to repackage some of its dependencies. I actually did upgrade (privately, as a matter to test the 1.6.8 packaging) : * libjaffl-java * libjcodings-java * libjffi-java & libjffi-jni * libbytelist-java However, even with this upgraded package I have hard time being able to package jruby 1.6. I'm not very used to java I admit. I still get like 7 errors of unresolved symbols with this upgraded deps. All of them happen in org.jruby.ext.posix.{POSIX,LibC}, and I have hard time understanding why given my lame java knowledge... I upgraded this packages considering the dependencies that fedora enforced for its jruby 1.6 package, which can be found at : http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/jruby.git/commit/?id=f4ea4c6e3ec7f89ffdce927b695fac638f2483ec I'll give another try latter. bert. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
