Dear all, Thank you Emmanuel for sharing the links. These are the things I have done at my end - 1. Forked the repo. to my salsa namespace - https://salsa.debian.org/shirishag75-guest/java-policy 2. Cloned the repo. at my end - ~/games$ git clone https://salsa.debian.org/shirishag75-guest/java-policy Cloning into 'java-policy'... warning: redirecting to https://salsa.debian.org/shirishag75-guest/java-policy.git/ remote: Enumerating objects: 1115, done. remote: Counting objects: 100% (1115/1115), done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (356/356), done. remote: Total 1115 (delta 727), reused 1115 (delta 727) Receiving objects: 100% (1115/1115), 206.11 KiB | 64.00 KiB/s, done. Resolving deltas: 100% (727/727), done. I am using https://stackoverflow.com/a/32127674/3597669 as my guide. 3. Created a branch at my end - ~/games/java-policy$ git checkout -b faqchanges Switched to a new branch 'faqchanges' Now while I'm doing the nominal changes am stuck at certain points - a. <version>$Revision: 7831 $, $Date: 2013-06-05 21:17:15 +0100 $ how is the revision and time-stamp derived. If I were to guess it would be something to do with moinmoin ? b. In 2.2 at https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-java-faq/ch2.en.html gcj and libgcj: http://gcc.gnu.org/java/ Classpath http://www.classpath.org. Most of the Standard classes for Java 1.2 (except Swing and RMI) are implemented by the ClassPath project, it tries to build an alternative to jdk's 1.2 core classes. (NB: This was removed from Squeeze) Should this content be there anymore ? - guess both can be removed as nothing of the two projects remain Even Most free Java development is grouped under the Free Java Project which links to https://www.gnu.org/software/java/ doesn't have much except the classpath history . I was surprised to know that gnu java which at one point was a high-priority project was deprecated within gcc https://lists.debian.org/debian-java/2014/08/msg00084.html c. In 2.4.2 I am not sure what links should be put in place of http://pkg-java.alioth.debian.org/developers.html#rules and http://pkg-java.alioth.debian.org/building.html d. For https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-java-faq/ch3.en.html esp. the non-free java would need to pursue the launchpad ppa archive - http://www.webupd8.org/2014/03/how-to-install-oracle-java-8-in-debian.html https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-java-faq/ch4.en.html e. 4.5 How can I use the proprietary version of the JDK/JRE from Oracle as a Debian package? This probably needs an updated answer, either we give the same link as above i.e. http://www.webupd8.org/2014/03/how-to-install-oracle-java-8-in-debian.html or maybe something else as http://sylvestre.ledru.info/blog/2012/02/29/java_package_replacement_of_sun_java6 is no longer sufficient :( I did couple of commits and have put the same as a merge requests at https://salsa.debian.org/java-team/java-policy/merge_requests/1 just for comparison purposes whether it's good or not. Quite a few questions of the above need answering before the same can be considered somewhat done (for now) . -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8
