[10:11] <AlanBell> hi
[10:11] <AlanBell> could someone point me at some background reading on the removal of Sun Java from Lucid, and it's possible inclusion in the partner repo
[10:12] <AlanBell> I am a bit concerned that nothing that depends or build-depends on it can be built for Universe, or even for a PPA
[10:13] <AlanBell> and as it isn't yet in the partner repo for Lucid I can't do any testing, it also impacts other things like Alfresco
[13:40] <persia> AlanBell: Nothing in the archive depends or build-depends on it (or if it does, we'll fix that shortly).
[13:40] <persia> AlanBell: Regarding other impacted things, do they not work against default-jre?  If so, how not, and have you filed bugs?

[13:49] <AlanBell> thanks
[13:50] <AlanBell> looking at a few things like freemind for example I see it is an alternate dependency
[13:52] <AlanBell> the alfresco-community package that is in the partner repo for Jaunty does depend on it. I am investigating building that to get it somehow into Lucid, even if via a PPA
[13:55] <persia> Oh, it's an alternate dependency for all sorts of stuff, but the primary dep should always be default-jre, which exists, so the alternate dep is never chosen except explicitly.
[13:55] <persia> Try depending or build-depending on default-jde / default-jdk instead.  That package is actually maintained.
[13:56] <AlanBell> ok, will do
