Since I'm not a Linux guy, I do not make Debian packages myself; instead just release a basic .tar.gz Linux pachage. The only restriction I know is that we widely depend on Java and Apache libraries, so we ship all required libraries with official Debian package simply because there are not always required packages available on Debian repositories. GCJ has still critical problems with compiling Java codes (even 1.4.2) and those libraries may not necessarily be compiled with GCJ. For example see: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/source/lucene Lucene 2.1 (now also 2.2 is available) is used for Zekr 0.6.0, but only 1.4.3 is available on repositories. > To me (I have not tested the build and the runtime yet), this is the one > blocker. Why should it be blocker? There are many projects without any official release for Linux (any distro), but some enthusiasts port them on Linux and take control of its maintenance. _______________________________________________ Developer mailing list [email protected] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/developer
