RFS: java-common (renames default-jdk-builddep to gcj-native-helper)
Hi
As per thread [1] from April, default-jdk-builddep will be renamed to
gcj-native-helper. For backwards compatibility gcj-native-helper will
provide default-jdk-builddep /and/ depend on default-jdk until we have
removed all references to default-jdk-builddep in the archive.
I have taken the liberty of updating the policy to replace
default-jdk-builddep with gcj-native-helper (see [2] for the actual
changes).
Here is the latest changelog entry:
java-common (0.37) unstable; urgency=low
* Updated and synced the Java FAQ.
- contains a example of how to link with system javadocs.
(Closes: #577164)
* Renamed default-jdk-builddep to gcj-native-helper.
* Removed useless install files and moved the override files
to a location where dh_lintian finds them.
* Removed some unused overrides.
* Updated current list of maintainers in d/copyright
(based on current list of Uploaders).

The changes are available on the pkg-java SVN or on mentors via dget:
dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/j/java-common/java-common_0.37.dsc
If you checkout from the pkg-java SVN you can see the changes via:
svn diff -r12176:HEAD
Since the Java FAQ takes up quite a bit of the diff you may want to use
something like:
svn diff -r12176:HEAD -- debian/ policy.xml
Similarly the FAQ changes can be reviewed with:
svn diff -r12176:HEAD -- debian-java-faq/
Thank you in advance,
~Niels
