Java packages in contrib?
Hi Java-list,
I've noticed that free-java-sdk is still only in unstable. The reason
stated is, that it it depends on gjdoc, which in turn is in contrib. Now
I don't understand, why gjdoc is in contrib, checking it's depends shows
only debhelper, libgnujaxp-java, libxalan2-java and sablevm. Ok, here we
have libxalan2-java which is in contrib, but _this_ package now only
depends on free packages. There are some recommends on contrib packages,
but as far as I can see, most of these could either be 'suggested' or
also moved to main (like libbsf-java, which only depends on classpath,
which is free).
I think there are a lot of packages that could be placed in main,
instead of contrib.
A quick check for *-java packages and it's dependencies gives the
following candidates (which are most likely all libraries):
(A lot of them only have circular dependencies within contrib and would
need a bump. Others have or-dependencies with kaffe and non-free-stuff
-- is this a show-stopper? If so, then please remove the non-free
dependencies! <or make them suggests>) Am I completely missing something
very important about contrib here? If so, please apologize this...
