Hi Joachim, Personally, I would say it is an acceptable work around for now. It does get in the way of removing OpenJDK-6, but as I recall we are no where near ready to do that yet. So as long as this is a temporary measure and will be replaced within the Jessie release cycle, I am supportive of that idea. As for how to do it: No clue; depends on the package and I don't know enough about netbeans to say. Though if you mess with a ".conf" file, you will probably have to do it a build time[1]. ~Niels [1] Assuming it is what we call a "conffile" and not just a "configuration file". See Policy ยง10.7 on the difference. Basically, a "conffile" must be "complete" when we install it into the .deb. A (non-"conffile") "configuration" may be "finished" on the system via e.g. postinst. But non-"conffile"s requires a lot of manual code in maintainer scripts to ensure it is (otherwise) properly handled like a "conffile". http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-config-files -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
