Hi. Some info, to start with: * vecmath (or javax.vecmath) is a package for vector mathematics used by java3d. * It was written by Sun but was non-free, so a copy was written (called vecmath1.2) for any other program who wanted vector maths. * Now the Sun version is GPL2+ and it is a dependency of java3d (vecmath1.2 is not compatible). * vecmath1.2 hasn't been maintained upstream since 1999. There is a vecmath1.2 source package in the archive at the moment which provides the libvecmath1.2-java binary package. As the original, Sun, version is required by java3d, I'd very much like to upload it. It's actually maintained upstream as well, which is nice to see. I propose that we upload Sun's vecmath as "vecmath" with binary package libvecmath-java which "Provides: libvecmath1.2", and then ask for vecmath1.2 to be removed. Comments? I will do this in the next week unless anyone objects. There is packaging for vecmath in SVN under /trunk/vecmath/. Kind regards, -- Jonny Lamb, UK jonny@debian.org
