Last Question for packaging the free vecmath library

[Wolfgang Baer]

Hi all,

the packaging of the free vecmath library is almost finished.

I checked the package with lintian and get neither errors
nor warnings - Juhu !

If I check with linda i get the following error which I cannot
explain:

E: vecmath1.2; Uses cdbs and debhelper.mk, but the version is to old.

Here is my control file:

Source: vecmath1.2
Section: libs
Priority: optional
Maintainer: Wolfgang Baer <WBaer@gmx.de>
Build-Depends-Indep: debhelper (>= 4.0.0), cdbs, libant1.6-java, gjdoc,
kaffe, jikes
Standards-Version: 3.6.1

Package: libvecmath1.2-java
Architecture: all
Depends: kaffe | java-runtime
Suggests: java-virtual-machine
Description: [...]

Any suggestions ? Should I make versioned build-deps with the last 
available version for debhelper and cdbs, or just ignore this
linda error ?

The next thing is the Depends stuff for the library. I verified that
the library works with all free vm's (sablevm, kaffe, jamvm, gij-3.3
and gij-3.4). I want that it is possible to install this package if
any of the free vm's is already installed. Is the depends ok or should
it be kaffe | jamvm | ... | java-runtime | java1-runtime | java2-runtime

If these questions are answered I am in the state to finish the
packaging of my other libraries in the queue.

Regards,

Wolfgang
