libs that require native bindings are not that commonly used in java community because of its portability issues. Actually projects will usually tend to migrate away from them because there is just no simple way to ship it in a cross-platform fashion ... except for a few rareexceptions (like swf). In this sense getting changes for this into upstream tree sounds unlikely. So unless its really API compatible, I doubt that we can make openoffice use that instead of libdb-je-java - and adding yet another patch that stays with us forever wouldnt be scalable either. - Alexander -- MIR - move to main for openoffice.org 3 build-depends https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/305790 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
