COLT for Debian =============== Since COLT contains some non-free code which is licensed as follows Files: src/hep.aida.* Copyright: © 2004 Pavel Binko, Dino Ferrero Merlino, Wolfgang Hoschek, Tony Johnson, Andreas Pfeiffer, and others. License: LGPL-no-military hep.aida.* is non-free according to the information in xdocs/license.xml: . Permission to use and/or redistribute this work is granted under the terms of the LGPL License, with the exception that any usage related to military applications is expressly forbidden. The software and documentation made available under the terms of this license are provided with no warranty. it can not be distributed in main Debian. Several attempts to contact the original authors to drop the military restriction failed and colt is not maintained upstream any more to ask for a rewrite. While the development of the critically licensed parts is continued in the freehep Jaida project[1] the classes from there are no 1:1 drop in replacement of the old files. You can easily obtain the files from freehep jaida via svn checkout svn://svn.freehep.org/svn/freehep/trunk/jaida/freehep-aidajni/src/main/java/hep/aida/swig cd swig rm -rf [A-HJ-Z]* I[B-GI-Z]* IAn* IAxisStyle.java IHistogramFactory.java .svn Any hint how to build these instead of the removed files would be welcome. In any case the reverse dependencies of libcolt-java also build with libcolt-free-java and thus this package is distributed in main. If you find any problem that might be connected to the removal of the hep.jaida classes feel free to file a bug report about this.
