Hi Damien, I'm looking at it now, I've got a couple of points, firstly, libraries should not depend on runtimes (you depend on openjdk-6-jre-headless | java2-runtime-headless), applications using them should depend on appropriate runtimes. Secondly, the 'other' licences you list are actually BSD licences, you should probably cite them as such and just link to the one in /usr/share/common-licences. > This package is build using OpenJDK6 instead of GCJ because OpenJDK6 is really > faster doing test-suite (x10 factor). Is it really faster if you build with openjdk? what about if you build with default-jdk and run with gcj? If it is just the JRE which makes a difference I think you should build with default-jdk and then just document that people should run their apps against it with openjdk. If it's just the length of time to run the test suite at build time... I'm not sure. It's a significant proportion of the build time already, does the test suite need to be run on every build? It looks pretty good in general though, I'm happy to upload if you at least fix the depends. Matt -- Matthew Johnson
