some feedback

[B. Zhang]

Hi,

I run debian unstable powerpc (ibook G4).

1) About http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=425508

I think the problem is not fixed in version 0.29.

$ grep ppc /usr/share/doc/java-package/SUPPORTED 
        j2re-1.3.1-14-FCS-linux-ppc.bin

        ibm-java-sdk-60-linux-ppc64-20070329.tgz

The ibm java source names are ibm-java2-jre-5.0-5.0-linux-ppc.tgz and
ibm-java2-sdk-5.0-5.0-linux-ppc.tgz now.


2) I changed two line in /usr/share/java-package/ibm-j2re.sh
----------------------------------------------------
        "IBMJava2-JRE-142.ppc.tgz") # SUPPORTED
            j2se_version=1.4.2
            j2se_expected_min_size=40 #  bytes
            found=true
            ;;
        "ibm-java2-jre-5.0-5.0-linux-ppc.tgz") # SUPPORTED    <---this
            j2se_version=1.5.0
            j2se_expected_min_size=50 # 50066027 bytes  <---this
            found=true
            ;;
--------------------------------------

But I get some warnings (like
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=354427 ):

Removing temporary directory: done
----------------------------------------------

Installing unixodbc can fixed the last warning.
