Sounds like Debian could use the same solution for gcj that Debian uses for emacs -> just distribute the .java files and do the ahead-of-time compilation (.java to .so) at install time. Is this automatic enough under gcj so that this could that work?
I think it would be too slow. After all you don't do the .c to .so compilation at installation time, so why should .java to .so be different? Also, what happens if you install a Java package, and then install gcj later? Shuld that so the compilation to .so when you install gcj? -- --Per Bothner per@bothner.com http://www.bothner.com/per/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-request@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
