Intend to NMU jikes
Hi!
Tomcat 3.2.3-4 won't move to testing because it has a dependency on
Jikes 1.14 which in turn won't move to testing because it's not being built
on ARM [1]. Given the fact that the maintainter is not reachable and the
recent history of NMUs I'd like to upload my local package with these
changes:
jikes (1.15-0.1) unstable; urgency=low
* NMU
* New upstream release (closes: #116644)
* Architecture: any (so jikes gets built on ARM again and can hopefully
move to testing soon)
* Use debhelper V3 in debian/rules
* Call "make distclean" in debian/rules
* Standards-Version: 3.5.6 (no changes required)
* Compile using g++ 3.0 and default optimization (-O2) on i386
* Drop the Debian locale patches, upstream included a different patch and
will probably include the rest later (closes: #110149)
The only patch to the upstream sources is now the NAN patch from #116265
* Install jikesapi.h in /usr/include
* Removed emacs variables from changelog to make lintian happy
The packages are currently available at
http://people.debian.org/~sgybas/jikes/
If nobody objects I'd like to upload them to incoming in the next few
days, I'll probably recompile the packages on an unstable machine with
g++ 3.0.2 final first. I'll also have to make some small changes for archs
that don't support g++ 3.0 yet, I'll test this on s390.
I have tested various g++ and optimization levels and found that you get
the best results on i386 with g++ 3.0 and -O2. The resulting binary
seems to work fine when compiling Tomcat 4.0, even with locale settings.
