Hi Gregor, Thank you for your rapid correspondence. > The problem from my point of view is that it builds in my normal > environment (with the Sun Java jre/jdk installed) but not in a > pbuilder chroot (because the Sun Java packages require a "Yes, I > agree with this licence" confirmation which obviously doesn't work in a > chroot) - I don't know what the buildds would do in that case. but jabref is architecture "all", why buildd should see it at all? :-) > Furthermore the future of Sun Java in Debian is a little unclear - to > put it mildly. well... since finally it made its way into non-free, I think (hope) that it will stay there for quite a while ;-) > And I've tried to compile jabref with free java compilers but without > success so far. It might be worth seeking for help of "Debian Java Packaging Project" members: http://pkg-java.alioth.debian.org/, if you really want to get involved that much ;-) > So I'm a bit unsure what should be done about jabref. > >...< indeed, it might be worth asking for an advice from -dev mailing list > > P.S.

Well... though I doubt that anyone would run after you but you are violating GPL license now -- binary is available without the full source... ;-) and it forbids me to try pbuilder on it... P.S. I excluded ITP bug for now from the destination addresses now that it was "touched" to signal the activity and update its current status ;-) -- .-. =------------------------------ /v\ ----------------------------= Keep in touch // \\ (yoh@|www.)onerussian.com Yaroslav Halchenko /( )\ ICQ#: 60653192 Linux User ^^-^^ [175555]
