I am releasing a new version of wims' package (4.03a-4), with the
following changelog:
------------------8<---------------------------
wims (4.03a-4) unstable; urgency=low
* restored the build of the package wims-java-applets. This package is now
considered as Architecture: some. This is a bad trick, since it can
be installed seamlessly on JVM-lacking architectures, and needs no
JVM in localhost to be useful for other machines. However this trick
will be used as a turnaround, just to enable wims' acceptance in
testing. If a better solution is found, it will be applied then.
* fixed the parameter WIMS_VERSION in Makefile
------------------8<---------------------------

I thank in advance anyone who would hint a better solution to this issue.
In a few words, it should:
- allow the binary package wims-java-applets to be built once (in some
architecture providing a JVM)
- allow all other binary packages to be built with Architecture: any
- allow this binary package to be installed on *all* architecture, since it
has no dependency at all on the server machine.
Best regards, Georges.
