Greetings debian-java, I'm an 'amateur' java/debian hacker. My goal is to put together a debian package for freenet[0] and eventually get it uploaded to the debian repo(very long term goal). Freenet depends on a few different / old / obselete pieces of code which will make this project difficult / fun ;-). The package has been built long ago so i have something to base it on[1]. Firstly freenet depends on bouncycastle 1.52 with stable,testing and unstable having 1.49 and experimental having 1.51. Is there any way I can assist getting 1.52 uploaded to debian? Should I file a feature request bug and work with the maintainer that way? Secondly package libbcprov-java-doc is supposed to install the api docs but does not actually contain the the documentation. Should i file a bug for this too? Is this as simple as including the javadoc's in the git repo and building the package? I am not asking for the community to work for me, I am happy to do the legwork and get involved but I will need some advice, a push in the right direction and possibly some hand holding. Thanks, Dean [0] https://www.freenetproject.org [1] https://github.com/freenet/debian
