Bug#533589: bt747 needs to fix some items in order to be in Debian



FTR,

I packaged bt747 but I think it doesn't fit in debian for now. Why?
Here you have some reasons:

* It uses some libraries that are not in Debian yet: swingx-ws.jar,
jchart2d-3.1.0.jar and sanselan-0.97-incubator.jar.

* It seems that one of the embedded jars (swingx-ws) is not the original
library, but a modified one and I can't find the source code..

* In some files there is external source code with different licenses. I
should examine them with more detail.

* Embedded libraries are not updated. I patched some code to adapt it to
Debian libraries.
 But I don't know if upstream plans to update jars, so Debian
maintenance would be
much easier.

So, after working on it, I uploaded it to an unofficial personal
'home-made' repo (if you want to take a look, you're welcome) [0]:

Now, I want to contact with upstream developer and see if we can
collaborate to fix all items exposed above.

Repository:
deb http://dunetna.probeta.net/debian testing main
deb-src http://dunetna.probeta.net/debian testing main

To add them in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dunetna.list:
$ echo -e "deb http://dunetna.probeta.net/debian testing main\ndeb-src
http://dunetna.probeta.net/debian testing main" | sudo su -c "cat
> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/dunetna.list" 

Or go directly to http://dunetna.probeta.net/debian to get what you
want.

If you want to add my key to apt:
$ gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 1A49C0D2
$ gpg --armor --export 1A49C0D2 | sudo apt-key add -
$ sudo aptitude update
