Hi Ludovic,
FWIW I packaged version 2.0 some months ago [1]. It's still there [2]
and waiting for a sponsorship.
If nobody wants to upload it as is, it might be a starting point to
package 3.0.
I started to package jme because a software I was packaging (in the
meanwhile I gave up) depends on it.
It's born as "public" so every team member may feel free to add
himself to Uploaders and keep it up.
If you don't like that, feel free to take my ITP over.
As [1] says, reviews/uploads would be appreciated.
Niels, 1st reviewer, I've just seen you're DD now, congrats! If
interested, now you can :)
Cheers,
Gabriele
