Not entirely convinced by this, but I do support the "let the applications depend on the JRE they need" philosophy. Nevertheless, if you do keep the JREs for this package, please add a lintian override (with rationale) for needless-dependency-on-jre (from lintian 2.5.0~rc3 or newer). If it is a general issue with libraries should depend on JREs in certain cases, please do file a bug against java-common to have the policy amended. What about the missing classpath entry in the installed jcharts jar (missing-classpath tag emitted by lintian 2.5.0~rc3 as well). Note lintian has a false-positive tag on the -doc package, which will be fixed in the next lintian release. > Latest changelog for reference. > jcharts (0.7.5-2) unstable; urgency=low > > * debian/patches/01_remove_old_functionality.diff > - Patch to exclude files that use Sun proprietary APIs and related > changes. > (Closes: #594270) > * debian/control > - No need to use only OpenJDK or Sun JDK/JRE now.

Unfortunately GCJ appears to choke on the javadoc generation, so we probably have to keep the B-D as openjdk-6 and use openjdk-6 in JAVA_HOME (probably with a note in d/rules as to why). If you restore sun-java6 as alternative, please remember to make d/rules pick up the JAVA_HOME for sun-java6 if openjdk-6 is not present. (otherwise it will FTBFS if openjdk-6 is not installed). > - Build against libservlet2.5-java instead of libservlet2.4-java. Nice > - Add libjcharts-java-doc package containing API documentation.

I think that should cover it. ~Niels -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJNw8iBAAoJEAVLu599gGRChP0P+gNk+/PvCAZXHEOUefT8t/dA vvtqguKe1nuFqcELdK24U1yPOumQ5o5vA/thM77295z9lrgagn9R1ZegSoY9E7Cq EPlACl3l85huBQ//xSa4C8GT9vhd+UAG8iqS032+AvzOl3fTcst7GcmXCSj1UM/4 7H7hIscqhk+8QZaPqr9IfUkXyPMacjewZ78I+gvFa7kIeLZFyl6magf9GHlJ6lqw 80pJhlUDB1LIebJ2126hXIKMnhCcIKGadnT3rpIhYrqRAJ/PNaezpIbBmxhSquEG Jgs+AAKWO9n4lzNSuiA0Uz7t5cLBNtttz3lZG6msJPBonFF8slxuUGHbfBvFLVcg gR4CJ1WQjg9k8YhVWiypZCQ7jh4yfj/RC+2wyaK/ujvixA3WovYSWGO434KhZ/V3 XWKFKzGGkjXeJNQ2HN9/IQrmjjOwgcWw8Ys3iogM8keEsK/TqKhdfjmcD4PUUDKn q6lxuJsv3Yt+kxBt3sxSCLfJjkH8cupwPpVDfNH0pTCrqx7sm9n3p3IZf0f56Ye5 xr6akr4EupH86Qshlh5+pBYe2xrYN6RDRQRp6GFGo4reJzbN643LV1762vYya/S+ veu9yqUmaAz+pvP9QzbPW8MbFaKZJ5jwBRkXHs5YYl7enSFQGSX2sWr+mVi8K9CH rg85tm8urEbv1gFif4c/ =eZ4Y -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
