Bug#425508: java-package: please support ibm-java2-sdk-5.0-4.0-linux-ppc.tgz

[Charles Plessy]

Package: java-package
Version: 0.28
Severity: normal

Dear java-package team,

IBM does not seem to distribute ibm-java2-sdk-50-linux-ppc.tgz anymore:
it is superseded by ibm-java2-sdk-5.0-4.0-linux-ppc.tgz. However, just
changing the name is not enough to use make-jpkg. I think that the
file layout is not exactly the same between the two releases.

Since we can not use the non-free SUN java on powerpc, and that IBM does
not distribute the supported tgz anymore, I assume that the severity of
this bug is normal, because the situation is a sort of regression.

I hope that the fix can be backported (or better, uploaded) to Etch...

Have a nice day,
