[Pkg-grass-general] PostGIS and Java

[Wolfgang Baer <wbaer@gmx.de>]

Hi,

this mail is related to the Java GIS Software mail.

The Java GIS Software projects all provide access to Postgis databases.
Therefore they need also the Postgis Java library beside the other
dependecies.

So there is the question how to package it. It depends on the libpgjava
library which is in contrib. As I know a package build-dep on a contrib
package has also to go into contrib.

If that is true, it would be a good idea to package it seperately from
Postgis - so Postgis can stay in main ?

Any thoughts on that ?
