Hi, I am working on packaging a Java application called BT747 [0]. For now, I have some doubts (I think I'll have more in the future ;-)): * Licenses: this package has quite a lot of licenses, one of the licenses is GPL (without the version). Is it a problem? The exact header is: /** * Copyright by Christof Dallermassl. * * This program is free software and licensed under GPL. * * Modifications for BT747 by Mario De Weerd * */ * Embedded libraries: I get some of them out because they are already in Debian but some of them are not in Debian. I supose I must get these libraries from its original source and pack them as different packages... am I right? The libraries that are not in Debian are: - jchart2d: oh! I just see there is an ITP for this :-) [1] - sanselan [2]. * Embedded modified libraries: this is the BIG doubt. This package uses a library called swingx-ws, but BT747 uses a modified version (which is redistributed). I think I have 2 options: 1.- Pack it separately like an external and independent library. 2.- Make that my source package provides two binary packages: one with the program and another one with this modified library. But maybe there is another option that I don't know. What is the usual way to do in this cases? By the way, as you can see in my ITP, I made a "home-made" repo with this package (if you want to take a look, feel free to do it). I must advertise that right now there are embedded libraries. Thanks at advance for your help :-) Mònica [0] http://bugs.debian.org/533589 [1] http://bugs.debian.org/626243 [2] http://commons.apache.org/sanselan/
