Hi, I packaged bt747 but I think it doesn't fit in debian, for now. Why? Here you have some reasons:
* It uses some libraries that are not in Debian yet (it shouldn't be the biggest problem, I can package them too ;-) ) * It seems that one of the embedded jars (swingx-ws) is not the original library, but a modified one. I can't find the source anywhere. This is a big problem, isn't it? * In some files there is external code with different copyrights. There is no file detailing these licenses and in some cases licenses are not clear. * Embedded libraries are not updated. It shouldn't be a big problem. In fact, I patch some code to adapt it to Debian libraries. But I don't know if upstream plans to update jars, so Debian maintenance would be much easier. So, after working on it, I uploaded it to an unofficial personal 'home-made' repo (if you want to take a look, you're welcome) [1]: deb http://dunetna.probeta.net/debian testing main deb-src http://dunetna.probeta.net/debian testing main or go directly to http://dunetna.probeta.net/debian to get what you want. Now, I plan to contact with upstream developer, but I have not too much hope... FTR, I'll also comment all of this in my ITP [2]. But before, I'd like to listen any comment from you :-) (Yes, I know, David advertise me :-) But I'm a little bit rebellious sometimes XDDD ) Cheers, Mònica [1] To get the key, you can do: gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 1A49C0D2 gpg --armor --export 1A49C0D2 | apt-key add - aptitude update [2] http://bugs.debian.org/533589 _______________________________________________ Pkg-osm-maint mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-osm-maint
