I'm in the process of packaging Jython-- a pure java implementation of the 
python language that we are considering for unit testing WebObjects 
applications-- and have run across two issues that I thought I would run 
by the community (to see if I can still come up with a compliant package):

- There isn't a sourceball available from jython.org that is complete.   
There are two means via which I can get a complete set of sources for the 
current release version.   I could checkout the source from CVS using a 
known tag via anonymous cvs OR I could point to the sourceball archived by 
the Debian project.  Are either means acceptable?   Alternatively, I 
suppose a copy of the debian sourceball could be made available elsewhere 
if downloading it for the purposes of building a Fink package is in 
violation of Debian's acceptable use policy?

- To compile the Jython grammar requires a commercial only package [JavaCC]
.   However, the source tree comes with the parser already generated by 
JavaCC as the developers recognize that not everyone will/can have access 
to JavaCC.   To build, I simply have to touch the .java file that results 
from compiling the grammar.   Does this fit within the Fink policy?   
Jython's license is certainly compliant.

Do the voices in my head bother you?
