looking at the licenses there is no reason not to upload the package to universe, so that it can be used with openjdk-6 or icedtea-java7 as well. The major thing which needs to be done for an upload is a build from source.
- include the sources in the .orig.tar.gz, or maybe use the db- derby-10.3.2.1-src.tar.gz file from the apache derby website? - build from source using openjdk-6; please take care to adjust the build dependencies. - is there anything in javadb which requires all files to be located in /usr/share/javadb? If not, then please follow the FHS for file locations. - please rename the -docs package to -doc (there are a few -docs packages, but -doc is much more often used). - the api docs should be placed in the docdir in a subdirectory called api, as all other packages providing api documentation do.l - if there are application-only jar files, which are never used by any other application, you do not need to put these into /usr/share/java. - demos should be placed in the docdir, the subdir is called `examples' in debian. - doc files should be placed in the docdir, not in /usr/share/javadb -- FeatureFreeze exception request for sun-javadb https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192887 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
