Re: Libcolt-free accepted, lets see how far we can get with it (first package: libdsol1-java)



Great news!

Thank you Andreas for your persistence in freeing libcolt. I've added the task of testing with libjung-java with your new package to my list.

Hi,

I think after about three years of trying we finally might be able to
free those projects depending from libcolt-java.  The new
libcolt-free-java was created by simply removing the non-free code[2].
So with some luck that this code is not really used (first tests are
promising for all packages currently inside Debian) we can move these
packages to main.  In case the removed code might be needed the option
to package freehep jaida which is the (free!) successor of the project
the non-free code was derived from.

The first target I was now trying to tackle is libdsol1-java which was
injected into SVN[3] by Tim.  However this project has several problems
which are not actually related to libcolt.  Tim, could you please help
sorting this out?

 1. The debian/get-orig-source.sh file was pointing to a CVS which does
    not seem to exist any more.  The project was moved to SourceForge
    CVS but I have no idea how we could drain series 1.6.x from there.

 2. Despite the fact that debian/get-orig-source.sh said:
     # We just assume that DSOL is v1.6.9 as it's not been updated in ever.
    the download page[4] has 1.6.10

 3. To complete the confusion about versions the dsol-1.6 folder on
    SourceForge[5] has version 1.6.2 and 1.6.6

 4. In march 2014 2.1.0 was released on SourceForge[6] and this is
    most probably based on the code the debian/get-orig-source.sh I
    have commited now is fetching from CVS.

Tim, could you please check out whether version 2.1.0 of libdsol will
work for your final target?  Since this seems to be maintained I would
prefer to package this.  If this is not the case I would volunteer to
contact the authors about a reliable way to fetch the source of the
latest 1.6.x series files.

Kind regards

         Andreas.
