Hi, The bindings are independent from gstreamer. It depends only on jni and swt jars and use ant as build system. I searched for documentation on how to create debian packages for java libraries but I'm a bit confused on which tools to choose (CDBS/dh_make, quilt/dpatch, etc). Reading the New Maintainers' Guide, it seems I could use dh_make and manually edit debian/rules to call ant to build/install/clean, overriding almost all dh_* targets. Would this be a good approach? Is there any additional documentation that can help me? Thank you, - Samuel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
