Bug#296567: fastjar: Give reasonable version number on -V, manpage bug
Package: fastjar
Version: 1:3.4.3-6
Severity: minor
Is it possible to make "fastjar -V" spit out reasonable version numbers?
Currently, both debian woody fastjar and debian sarge fastjar, while
having a different feature set (woody does not support -u), both identify
themselves as 0.92-gcc, although the latter one spits out lots of
additional copyright notices. Maybe adding the GCC version behind (e. G.
identifying as "jar (fastjar) 0.92-gcc-3.4.3" or such would be helpful.
In some discussion on the postgis-devel mailing list, this led to some
confusions between the postgis debian maintainer in spe and me because
the makefile needed -u, and my machine running fastjar-0.92 worked fine,
while his woody environment failed running fastjar-0.92.
BTW, the sarge manpage for fastjar still says that -u is unimplemented,
although it is since gcc 3.4.1-1 (according to changelog.Debian.gz) and
is tested to work on my 3.4.3-6.
Thanks,
Markus
