Please build with openjdk so it can be moved to universe

[Onkar Shinde]

Since an FFE is going to take long to process and the only reason we wanted it was to move package to universe, I am instead patching the current source to build with openjdk.

I will attach the debdiff shortly.

Upstream tarball doesn't contain ChangeLog, CHANGES or NEWS file.

[Cesare Tirabassi (norsetto)]

From the README:

-version 3.8.1 on July 17, 2008
CtClass.rebuildClassFile() has been added.
A few bugs of javassist.bytecode.analysis have been fixed. 3.8.0 could not correctly deal with one letter class name such as I and J.
-version 3.8.0 on June 13, 2008
javassist.bytecode.analysis was implemented.
JASSIST-45, 47, 51, 54-57, 60, 62 were fixed.

Have you done any testing on this?

[Onkar Shinde (onkarshinde)]

No. I have not done any testing. I am just trying to move java apps/libs to universe by syncing them with the Debian revisions that build with openjdk.

[Luca Falavigna (dktrkranz)]

You should at least test if package is working with openjdk-6.

[Emilio Pozuelo Monfort (pochu)]

This would allow javassist to be moved to universe, which would allow aspectwerkz2 to be moved to universe too, which in turn would allow cglib2.1 to be moved too.

From #ubuntu-motu (2008-09-19 ~15:00 UTC:
<ScottK-laptop> persia: I've read the Java multiverse -> universe bugs and support them, but have very limited time before I leave on vacation tomorrow. Feel free to copy/paste this into each of them as my motu-release ack for those bugs.

[Onkar Shinde (onkarshinde)]

Marking confirmed as debdiff is attached.

[StefanPotyra (sistpoty)]

confirmed would mean FFe granted -> back to incomplete.

As Cesare wrote: what testing have you done?

[Onkar Shinde (onkarshinde)]

Stefen,

This is not an FFE anymore. I am patching current source in Ubuntu to compile with openjdk. And I don't use the library so I don't know what kind of testing Ican do. But as far as I know about java applications/libraries, if it compiles then it will run fine.

[Emmet Hikory (persia)]

The latest debdiff is clearly not in need of an FFe: it's just a change to the build-deps to match current best practice. I'll upload it in the next 12 hours. We'll jump upstream versions for jaunty.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]
