Re: findjava requirement

Hallo Ben,

I have no idea, *when* my mail will arrive at the list (the last mails
took four days each :( ), but anyway...

Yes. Bot are not needed for findjava or java-config...

findjava will take '-client' and '-server' just now. The rest will be
package names, which do not allow any of the 'funny' characters.

I'm ready with all but 'man 5 java-config-file', which I will do in a
minute. I will then upload everything to a bugreport to java-common.

There is also a first version of dh_java, which will do almost all
jobs, required by the proposed policy. Learning perl is fun as well :)
At least if you can do C&P all over...
