Bug#771537: freeplane: should relax to depend on default-jre | java-runtime
hi, @Tony: Concerning your commit for the freeplane package: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-java/freeplane.git/commit/?id=4e8d491742ab19f8ebad83a99cd1c8c09ea93df8 = I'd like to change this to java7-runtime because I'm not 100% sure that freeplane 1.3.x (or 1.4.x) works with java6 and because the jmapviewer-1.04 dependency (in experimental) requires java7: http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grass/jmapviewer.git/commit/?id=d2d0b136fb174de943a6569e4c5360684243b582 If you agree then we do the freeplane-1.3.12-2 upload after jessie is released.

Bug#771537: freeplane: should relax to depend on default-jre | java-runtime
hello Jonas, hello Tony,
Thanks for reporting. I am the maintainer of freeplane, simplyhtml,
libidw-java and jmapviewer.
I would like to fix this in jessie+1 because it's not a critical bug
and (as you stated) it would require unblocking freeplane, simplyhtml
and jmapviewer [1].
Furthermore, the freeplane wiki page which refers to Java1.6 may not be
up-to-date, as most devs use Java7 or Java8 and might accidentally have
committed code for Java = 7.
[1] libidw-java is not affected since it uses:
Depends: ${java:Depends}, ${misc:Depends}
and because it includes no executable jars, there is no dependency
to a JRE (from /usr/share/doc/javahelper/tutorial.txt.gz).
Cheers and Best Regards,
--
Felix Natter

Hi, Thanks for the bug report. We get enough of these that it's probably worth adding a lintian check to ensure that packages that declare a dependency on a JRE also include an alternative on a virtual equivalent (although this is really only feasible starting with java6). I retitled the bug to use the desired virtual package name (see [1]).

Thanks for the swift response! Yeah, I realized after filing this that it is probably a general issue: several reverse dependencies of freeplane also depend only on default-jre :-P - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private signature.asc Description: signature __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers.
