Re: JavaCC update

[Benjamin Mesing <ben-ml@gmx.net>]

Hi all,

  * update javacc to 6 and create a javacc5 package, patching all the

    packages which do not compile with 6.1.3 (requires a team effort)

+1 for this solution. I can help switching the broken packages back to

javacc5.

So be it. This is probably a task, that will not complete in time for stretch, so we have the following tasks:

• finalize javacc (6.1.3) and upload to experimental
• create javacc5 and upload to unstable (or experimental?)
• one by one fix packages which FTBS with new javacc (6.1.3) and upload to unstable  (or experimental?)

I have found a tool which makes recompiling packages at easier. The tool is apt-build and I have finalized recompiling all rdeps of javacc.

Here is the list, along with the maintainers. Almost all packages which fail are team maintained by pkg-java-mainters :-)

Some fails might not be javacc-related.

Note that some packages probably work with javacc4, if we are lucky

creating a new javacc5 package may not be necessary.
