Apologies for the delay in responding. On Tue, Oct 31, 2006 at 04:41:09PM +0100, Marcus Better wrote: Users don't usually build the package themselves, do they? And if they do, they are supposed to install the required build environment. In this case the required dependency (fastjar) is really small too. It's only the required dependency if the maintainer artificially makes it so. Virtual packages in build-deps are evil. Since the different jar implementations are not guaranteed to be equivalent, now or in the future, the outcome of the build will depend on the build environment. This means that the package is likely to FTBFS or produce interesting random bugs at some point. This is true. However, I want to Build-Depends: on specific | virtual, so that if the dependency is not satisfied in the current environment, you will get the well tested approach. This will also ensuire deterministic buildd behaviour. If a particular implementation of jar does cause an FTBFS, I'd rather this was found and fixed than avoided with an incorrect dependency. That is exactly why the Java policy explicitly states that a specific JDK must be used during build. I can't find that in the policy. Can you point me at the right place? By the way, what package are you working on?

I rather disagree: it's a disservice to our user's to force them to do anything, if it isn't necessary. Please close this bug, and don't introduce an unnecessary virtual package. I'm not sure who this is aimed at, but I won't close it until I've heard some reasons why the virtual package would be a bad thing. -- Jon Dowland signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ pkg-java-maintainers mailing list pkg-java-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers

Bug#395400: java-package: please Provides: jar for the sdk packages
Package: java-package
Version: 0.28
Severity: minor
Tags: patch
I have a program which requires an implementation of jar at
build-time. The Build-Depends line is non-trivial because nobody
specifies a jar virtual package.
Please adjust the sdk packages to Provides: jar.
Patch attached.
