RFS: UPDATE: libbasicplayer-java 3.0-4
 

Hello,

I am looking for a sponsor for the new version 3.0-4 of
libbasicplayer-java.

The latest entry in the Debian changelog is:
libbasicplayer-java (3.0-4) unstable; urgency=low

* Add pulseaudio.diff patch to workaround OpenJDK's Pulse Audio
implementation (Closes: #567856).
* debian/control:
+ Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.4
+ Changed section to java.
+ Added myself to uploaders.
+ Enhanced extended description.
* debian/copyright: converted to machine-readable format.


As required, I tested the package against unstable's version of lintian and it
is lintian clean.

The package can be found on svn:
svn+ssh://svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-java/trunk/libbasicplayer-java

I would be glad if someone uploaded this package for me.

Kind regards,

shouldn't we switch to default-jdk for this package? Can you try that,
please? Otherwise it looks good.

Cheers,
Torsten

I did that with some other minor changes, and have uploaded the package.

Thanks,

Thanks a lot. Yet, I think that lib*-java aren't supposed to Depend on
a jre anyways, so default-jre | ... could be removed from Depends, right
?

I've made a commit to remove default-jre | java5-runtime from Depends, I
hope this gets uploaded soon, especially that 3.0-4 release had a typo
in the Depends field: deafult-jre instead of default-jre

Thanks...

Ahmed, thanks for fixing the package. But, I think library packages
should at least depend on the -jre-headless package. AFAIK, that has
been the general practice with other library packages in Debian.

Thanks,
Varun

I've just checked, some java library packages indeed do depend on
-jre-headless, and some do not depend on any jre package at all.

Anyways, if I recall correctly, Matthew Johnson once told me (when we
were discussing a patch for jh_depends) that java libraries aren't
supposed to depend on any jre, it is the java apps.

It seems like it could depend on the library package. If it's strictly a
library, meaning it doesn't have any main() methods lurking about that are
useful to users, then the guideline should be not to depend on a JRE package. I
suppose there are library packages out there that contain classes you might want
to invoke directly with a JRE, but I imagine they would the exception. (And in
any event, I think this would be a corner case - i.e. how often would a user or
developer be loading library packages without having a JRE installed?)

So a general rule of not depending on a JRE package seems like a good approach.
It's one less thing that has to change if the virtual JRE package name changes,
and that's across all of the library packages.

Regards,
Tony
