Hello,
I'm currently working on getting openvox-server [1] in Debian and am
currently stuck on getting an updated version of jolokia (needed for
jetty12 support) into unstable.
The problem is that jolokia FTBFS with the version of jflex shipped in
unstable, 1.7.
It needs >= 1.8.2, which is currently in experimental because it causes
FTBFS issues in multiple rdeps. [2]. Among those rdeps is qdox, which I
understand is part of the java toolchain, so I'm trying to tread carefully.
I filed a bug against the jflex source package about this issue, but
unfortunately didn't get any reply from the maintainer. [3]
I'm wondering which would be the best approach:
- introduce a new jflex1.9 source package (latest version)
- upload jflex 1.8/1.9 in unstable and introduce a jflex1.7 package for
backwards-compatibility (would require updating several rdeps)
- vendor jflex in the jolokia package (not policy compliant)
- something else?
Thanks!
