That is the the point. It is only through dependencies. I can still run wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/s/sun-java5/sun-java5-jdk_1.5.0-07-1_i386.deb and have the JDK without the JRE. I can even install it, using the appropriate options to dpkg. I could easily imagine a confused user doing exactly that. That is why it is necessary to get a clarification from Sun that enforcing completeness only through package dependencies is ok. <snip> > > > We did check with Sun that the resulting packaging conforms to the > > > distribution terms. > > > > If you have a binding statement from Sun that it is OK to enforce > > completeness only through package dependencies, then it would be great > > if you could put that in the copyright file. > > This has meanwhile happened. Where? The DLJ FAQ does not address this. Cheers, Walter Landry [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
