Re: looking for a mentor/advocate for jedit.deb
I believe the current process of building a package seems to be via "ant", and some custom tasks, which are defined in the de.masters_of_disaster.ant.tasks package.
After downloading the source tarball, I type "ant dist-deb" and it generates a .deb file for me.
It's not using the current debian build scripts, nor is it using a "rules" script. Further, it seems as this currently deb builder isn't dealing with source at all, and only packages the compiled .class files. I'm looking around to see if somewhere it is generating a .dsc file, but i haven't found it yet.
