hello list,


I have uploaded an experimental version of java-common to my
account on
people.debian.org. You can fetch it at:

  http://p
eople.debian.org/~mkoch/java-common/

This version adds a debconf dialog to the postinst script of
java-common. Its now possible to configure the system Java
runtime with
update-java-alternative and have a nice debconf frontend.
People just
need to run

  dpkg-reconfigure java-common

as root. To make this all work we have to add *.jinfo files
to each
runtime we have in Debian. Currently java-gcj-compat and SUN
JDK (from
non-free) have this. I would be good to add a paragraph to
the policy
about this. 

Any opinions about this?


Cheers,
Michael


BTW: This version is not commited to pkg-java SVN
repository. It will
not be in its current form. It needs much more polishing.
This is just a
prototype.
