Re: [Debian-med-packaging] Bug#609038: ITP: biomaj -- a biological databank update and processing tool

[Olivier Sallou <olivier.sallou@irisa.fr>]

Hi,
regarding biomaj-watcher, I cannot remove jar dependencies, as many are 
not packaged for Debian (though under open source license). I did a try, 
but it is too difficult to get all those libs from source
 and compile them with the biomaj-watcher (lots of libraries 
dependencies, env setup etc...)
The fact is that for runtime we have few dependencies, but at 
build-time, with GWT stuff, it is complex (furthermore we use GWT 2, and 
only GWT 1 is packaged).

This means that biomaj-watcher should be moved to the contrib or 
non-free section  (software is free but depends on non-free libraries), 
while biomaj core can be set in main.

Regards

Olivier
