On panther maybe, on 10.2 we need to be trickier because it's possible for the user to install a package built on a system that had 1.4 as the default, and then run it on a system that still has 1.3.

As long as you BuildDepend on system-java14-dev this should be fine.


So the final deb file should stay the same for 1.4.1 and 1.4.2? The reason I am asking is, the package emboss of which I am the maintainer is currently hardcoded to 1.4.1. This was done by the previous maintainer and I never really paid attention to that part of the info file. Now I am receiving emails from users that after installing java 1.4.2, emboss failed to build because java 1.4.1 is no longer on their system. I don't see any other solution then to use Library/Java/Home instead of the hardcoded path to 1.4.1 or 1.4.2.


If this is a good solution, I will submit an updated version to the tracker.

Any suggestions for the 10.2 version? Should I hardcode that to 1.3.1 (which is not removed by installing 1.4.2)?
I don't have a Mac with 10.2 anymore, so I cannot test that.


thanks,

- Koen.
