Re: Next question for help in Java packaging: beast-mcmc
Hi,
I would like to refresh my question about the problem I mentioned.
Here again a short summary: At
http://people.debian.org/~tille/packages/beast-mcmc-help-wanted/
you can find a source package of beast-mcmc. All preconditions which
are not available in Debian are at
http://people.debian.org/~tille/packages/figtree-help-wanted/
The problem: Some of the wrapper scripts just find the jam library
and some don't for a reason I can not find.
In addition I found out later that the only wrapper script which is not
referencing the beast.jar archive is beauti which is refering to
beauti.jar. However, this is IMHO totally useless and inconsequent
because beauti.jar contains a complete subset of all the classes in
beast.jar and I see no reason why we should carry this copy of code
for no obvios reason (except that if I try to rewrite the wrapper for
beauti I run in the same problem as for treeannotator and treestat
script which are not finding jam).
A thinkable alternative would be to change the build system in a way
that all wrappers would be use different jars and these in turn should
use one common jar as library. While for my feeling this would be the
technically cleanest solution I doubt that upstream is really happy
about this change and without upstream support for the next versions
such an effort seems to be not very reasonable.
Any help is welcome
Andreas.
