This is where I see the problem: how to be sure the free and non-free environments are cleanly separated, and when should I use which environment.On Sun, Mar 20, 2005 at 12:17:53PM +0100, Eric Lavarde wrote:Would this is be a valid idea to add a page under http://java.debian.net/index.php/MovingJavaToMain addressing this topic? This might be moved to a "real" documentation once it is somehow finalized... I could try to do a start but I would, obviously, need support and review from this list.No, as free-java-sdk uses alterniatives to point to the VM its uses its not predictable byt the build environment what VM it uses during build. Debian packages need to use a predictable build environment like Kaffe or SableVM or perhaps GCJ but thats not so easy currently.
Yep, wrong wording on my side: add a page to the Wiki hosting the above page. OK, this way?!MovingToMain is only about the status of debian packages that are not in main yet. It would not be good to add a introduction into the free java.
Why not 'Kawa'? Sounds good (to me) and it means coffee in Arab, Polish and French slang (though you don't write it this way)... And as slogan: 'better than free coffee' or 'better than a one-way trip to the Java island'...BTW: Free Java does not exist in reality and I would not recommend to name anthing officially with Java in its name. Java is a registered tradmark by SUN. The Fedora Java effort currently thinks about a name too... I would call it "Classpath community" but this is only my personal preference and I'm prejudiced because I'm part of GNU classpath project.
Just my thoughts, Eric
PS: I'm on the list, no need to CC me!
