[Bug 260751] Re: new upstream version (4.0.9)

[hannesw]

I have contacted the debian maintainers of this package, and they said
they were going to commit the new package. Since ubuntu is using the
unmodified debian package, my understanding is that it will flow into
ubuntu universe automatically eventually - is this right?

Noel, the basic steps to update the package were:
- Fetched the source via apt-get source java-gnome
- Got the new upstream tar.gz file
- Transfer the debian info using uupdate as described in chapter 9.2 in http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/index.html
- Make a few tweaks like removing unnecessary patch
- Build the package using debuild -S
- upload the source package using dput

I don't think you have to do any of the patching, you should be able to
build for other versions using the source package from my archive. You
need to have the development packages set up and configured - the
Learning MOTU videos on youtube are a great resource for that, and for
the uploading part there's https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA
