Public bug reported:
In order to make OpenJDK 7 updates easier uscan/watch file should be
enabled.
The OpenJDK 7 package is comprised of tarballs for IcedTea, JamVM,
IcedTea sound, and OpenJDK modules (the OpenJDK "root", corba, hotspot,
jaxp, jaxws, jdk, and langtools).
Both IcedTea and IcedTea-sound provide a PGP signature while the
tarballs for OpenJDK modules and JamVM do NOT provide a PGP signature
upstream.
Fortunately - IcedTea can do a sha256 checksum on both OpenJDK modules
and JamVM tarballs if they are kept pristine. Additionally the OpenJDK
modules would have to be uncompressed in a specific tree format, which
is not supported by MUT. Given those restrictions it is better to pack
these pristine tarballs inside their own orig tarball.
The proposed format is:
- keep the icedtea tarball pristine as the orig tarball file.
- keep the icedtea-sound tarball pristine as the "orig-icedtea-sound" module
tarball.
- use a script (debian/repack) to download the OpenJDK modules + JamVM and put
their tarballs under a single "orig-drops" module tarball.
