I did a quick test with a local build. I can easily build
libnetlib-java_0.9.3 fith f2c without the javab executable. I have no
idea how to do proper performance tests, thought. I have no idea
whether javab is used in the build process at all - may be I should
do some investigation of access timestamp.
In case your insight says that javab is not needed I'd consider the
following procedure:
1. I create a tarball without non-free code
(there is one other remaining file but PrintfFormat.java[1]
does not sound as if could not be replaced by something else)
2. Move this to pkg-java Git and create a package from this.
May be somebody can give hints according to performance tests to compare
libnetlib-java build with and without javab.
What do you think?
Kind regards
Andreas.
