Hello,

on
http://humenda.users.sourceforge.net/libbrailleutils-java_1.2_i386.deb
you'll find a snapshot of libbrailleutils-java.
It should be usable on any dpkg-based Distribution like Debian >= 6.0 or Ubuntu
>= 9.10. Feedback would be welcome.

I chose to set symlinks for the jar-files (@ showing a symlink):
brailleUtils-catalog-1.2.0b.jar
brailleUtils-catalog.jar@
brailleUtils-core-1.2.0b.jar
brailleUtils-core.jar@
brailleUtils-ui-1.2.0b.jar
brailleUtils-ui.jar@

So the only thing which seem to block the inclusion is now that lib/ is still
needed.

I took Bert's version 1.2. If he could change the compile classpath and maybe
(just for the wish-list) add a doc/-directory, I could try to get it into the
archive.

BTW, under ant-build/resources are also jar-files. Are they needed?

Regards
Sebastian

Hello Sebastian,

The repository has been updated. It should work without the lib folder
now. I don't know whether the NSIS jar is still needed. My guess is no.

PS: I wasn't able to install the test version because: "package
architecture (i386) does not match system (amd64)".

It doesn't. I tracked down the error by deleting file by file and it seems to be
jing.jar which is still needed. I used the checkout from
https://brailleutils.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/braille
Could you fix that?

Yes, I tested it, not needed. I'll remove it in the Debian version.

Ah yes, I've forgot about 64 bit, you've found a packaging error :-). Try out:
http://humenda.users.sourceforge.net/libbrailleutils-java_1.2_all.deb

The debian specific properties were not loaded because the os detection
didn't work correctly. Could you try the new build.xml? I tried it and
it worked for me.

Thanks, now it works.

And now, with ant-build/resources and lib/ removed, everything builds fine. But
the jar-file which is created contains a weird classpath.
% unzip -p /usr/share/java/brailleUtils-ui-1.2.0b.jar META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.8.2

Main-Class: org.daisy.braille.ui.BasicUI
Built-By: streicher
Built-On: 2011-06-27
Implementation-Title: Braille Utils UI
Implementation-Version: 1.2.0b
Implementation-URL: http://code.google.com/p/brailleutils/
Class-Path: lib/brailleUtils-core-1.2.0b.jar lib/brailleUtils-catalog-

l.jar lib/xml-apis.jar lib/stax-api-1.0.1.jar lib/wstx-lgpl-3.2.8.jar

I don't know anything about this, in fact I got this hint from #debian-java.
What is wrong there?

Thanks

Didn't notice that yet. I've changed build.xml a bit more...

Thanks, now everything is great. Could you make a release? I marked it currently
as v1.2, but it isn't v1.2 yet :-).

We think it's better to wait with an official release until Joel has
been able to review the changes I made. Because he hasn't got the time
at the moment, we've planned a next release in August.

Would it be a problem to use the current version in trunk as a first
experimental/unstable debian package and update it when the new release
is there?

I forgot about that.

Unfortunately I'm not yet a Debian developer, which means I don't have upload
rights for the repository. Until I become a DD myself the upload process will
take some time and I would prefer doing the initial upload in August.
Except of course you'd prefer a version before August.

Hi Sebastian and Bert,

I will be on vacation for five weeks starting today. I'll be back in office August 8. I would be happy to review the changes then, but if I can't keep your schedule, please go ahead and make the release anyway. :)

I regret that I haven't been able to participate for awhile. It would have been so much fun!

Have a great summer!
Joel
