RFS: icu4j-4.2
 

Hi

I have prepared a new upstream release of icu4j; since eclipse 3.5 needs
4.0.1.1, I have renamed the package to icu4j-4.2 to avoid clashes with the
old package.


This is not the newest version of icu4j released (that would be >= 4.4),
however eclipse 3.6 depends on icu4j 4.2.


The latest changelog entry:
icu4j-4.2 (4.2.1.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

* New upstream release. (Closes: #583808)
* Renamed package since eclipse 3.5.2 depends on 4.0.1.1.
* Removed dependencies on JREs - per the Java Policy this is no
longer required.
* Fixed a typo in the package synopsis.
* Rewrote d/rules to use DH7 with javahelper.
* Removed the patch; not required anymore.
* Bumped Standards-Version to 3.8.4 - no changes required.
* Removed NEWS and README.Debian; they were no longer relevant.

The changes have been checked in at the pkg-java's SVN and can also be
fetched from mentors.debian.net via dget:

Thanks for considering,
~Niels

may you add a get-orig-source target, please?

Cheers,

Hi Niels,

This is for my own education, but could you explain the following for me:

Do we not need to depend on default-jre-headless for libraries? Or is
it optional? I don't see anything in the policy saying that it was
required to - so when is it good to include the dependency? Thank you.

Regards,
Scott

Earlier policy (and a very outdated one, but that was reworked only
recently) mandated that libraries should depend on an appropriate java
runtime.

If my memory serves me right, only *programs* should depend on the
java runtime they need to run, but not libraries.

Cheers,

Vincent

I made an debian/orig-tar.sh script instead, but it should work all the
same.
