It seems that I spoke too early without checking all the facts. My apologies.
The upstream source zip file contains only java source code and it
does not contain source for native libraries (.cpp files). So it is a
must that the source be retrieved from CVS. And we need to remove
unzipsfx binary when creating the tar. Hence the dfsg in version
stays.
I have done following improvements to the packaging bits.
1. Instead of getting latest version from CVS, I am getting files by a
release tag. This makes sure that no matter when the files are checked
out they will correspond to a particular release. The release tag is
calculated from version in changelog. I found the list of possible
tags from upstream website.
2. I am using cvs export instead of cvs chekout in get-orig-source
target. Not a major change, it just doesn't require any user
interaction.
3. I have done some other changes in control file to adjust build and
runtime dependencies appropriately.
All the changes I did are checked in pkg-java svn. Unfortunately I
could not actually build the package in pbuilder as there was some
problem with aptitude getting upgraded/installed on powerpc. I tested
the changes in Ubuntu karmic pbuilder though and it builds fine.
Please take a look at the changes in svn and let me know what you think.
Cheers,
Onkar
