I guess you should probably ask the authors. I did some googling about
tar.gz / tgz site:www.acme.com and got several hits inside some Java source
files (for instance http://www.acme.com/resources/classes/Acme/Spider.java)
to http://www.acme.com/resources/classes/Acme.tar.gz saying
"Fetch the entire Acme package." ... but this files does not exist at
this server.
I don't have any ideas yet about netscape.jar
This question was partly answered by Daniel. I would try to find out
the real purpose of this jar and consider replacing it by something which
might be provided by mozilla.org. But this is just a wild guess and I
have no idea whether this strategy is mromissing.
PS: you debian-med guys are closely following ITPs, it seems
Yes. ;-)
PPS: for the same reasons as for jalview, I think it will end up in
pkg-java, as java packaging is something rather painful and delicate...
I would be in big favour of this. After a lengthy mail conversiation
about pkg-escience and a phone call between Steffen Möller and me I
think it is fine if you move the packaging SVN from pkg-escience tp
pkg-java - after having checked back with Steffen for sure.
PPPS: would it make sense to have debian-med (or the @lists.alioth
equivalent) uploader for Jmol and Jalview ?
IMHO there are three teams interested in this package:
1. pkg-java: high technical competence but has gathered a lot of
packages and problems might be hidden amongst the amount of other
issues.
2. Debichem: Interested in this package, but I can not comment
on their interest according to maintenance
3. Debian Med: Only few Java competence, but interested in the
package. If you do not mind to joind the Debian Med team you
are welcome to use
Debian-Med Packaging Team <debian-med-packaging@lists.alioth.debian.org>
as maintainer address.
Kind regards and thanks for your work on Jmol
Andreas.
