I think we should get the understanding about what we are going to provide in the end. The source or the binaries. Which way it would be easier (or possible) to certify the package as Java? I would definitely prefer to provide source and leave the integration to the distributions. Same model is assumed by KDE or mplayer projects. They just don't create any binaries, and all the bugs which are possible are to be considered by the downstream distributions first, patches and fixes sent upstream. > But I'm in the minority here... Static linking doesn't work in many ways, on x86_64 for example. I don't really care dynamic or static, but the reality is that static linking often is just impossible. > Certainly for now, we need to notify people of the reqs.. > > geir -- Gregory
