Screaming in public helped, unfortunately :-} java-common is the Mother Of All Java Packages, in the proposed policy. At the present time, it is just a placeholder, but the next version will contain the text of the Policy (SGML/debiandoc, probably, or XML/DocBk, may be), as well as utilities scripts (for instance to build a CLASSPATH from a list of jars (submissions welcome).
So, maintainers can know release packages which depend on java-common. I plan to bug "Severity:wishlist" packages who don't (do not panic, I will not do it today). ------- Forwarded Message Date: 28 Jul 1999 18:54:29 -0000 Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> From: Debian Installer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Stephane Bortzmeyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: java-common_0.1_i386.changes INSTALLED Installing: java-common_0.1.tar.gz to dists/potato/main/source/misc/java-common_0.1.tar.gz java-common_0.1.dsc to dists/potato/main/source/misc/java-common_0.1.dsc java-common_0.1_all.deb to dists/potato/main/binary-all/misc/java-common_0.1.deb If the override file requires editing, reply to this email.
