 I'm not sure witch is the really correct place will be but something seems to
 be wrong.
 
 For example:
 sascha@kang:/var/cache/pbuilder/sid/result$ lintian xul-ext-
 firetray_0.3.0-svn-r122-1_amd64.deb
 W: xul-ext-firetray: jar-not-in-usr-share usr/lib/xul-
 ext/firetray/chrome/firetray.jar

That's a bug in lintian. Java uses .jar files that are zip files
containing Java class files. Mozilla uses .jar files in XPI files that
are zip files containing everything below the chrome/ directory. lintian
should make a difference between both. file *.jar will both report that
the .jar files are zip files. lintian should look into the zip and check
if they contain Java files.

Bug#635495: lintian want's jars at /usr/share/

[Sascha Girrulat]

Package: mozilla-devscripts
Version: 0.27
Severity: normal
Tags: sid

Hi,

if i use install-xpi for packaging xul extensions i got a lintian error at the
final package. All jars will installed at /usr/lib/xul-ext/package/...

I'm not sure witch is the really correct place will be but something seems to
be wrong.

For example:
sascha@kang:/var/cache/pbuilder/sid/result$ lintian xul-ext-
firetray_0.3.0-svn-r122-1_amd64.deb
W: xul-ext-firetray: jar-not-in-usr-share usr/lib/xul-
ext/firetray/chrome/firetray.jar
sascha@kang:/var/cache/pbuilder/sid/result$ lintian-info -t  jar-not-in-usr-
share
N: jar-not-in-usr-share
N:
N:   The classpath listed in some of the files references files outside of
N:   /usr/share, while all installed JAR files must be within
N:   /usr/share/java for libraries or /usr/share/package for JARs for
N:   private use.
N:
N:   The rationale is that jar files are in almost all cases architecture
N:   independent and therefore should be in /usr/share. If the jar file is
N:   truly architecture dependent or it cannot be moved since symlinked jar
N:   files are not accepted by the application, then please override this
N:   tag.
N:
N:   Refer to Debian Java Policy section 2.2 (Debian Java Policy) and
N:   Debian Java Policy section 2.3 (Debian Java Policy) for details.
N:
N:   Severity: normal, Certainty: possible
N:
N:   Check: java, Type: binary
N:

Cheers
Sascha
