that's good. You can take my tasks. :)

I've started with the usual Linux 'port' and adapted it for kfreebsd. I
could build the hotspot vm but it crashed during initialization. I've
lost my interest when I did not found a way to build the vm with
debugging symbols. Any ideas how to build it with debugging symbols?

I gave up the goal for Squeeze but I do not give it up for Wheezy. The
next best option is probably the JamVM port to OpenJDK
<http://fosdem.org/2011/schedule/event/portingjamvm>. The code should be
published soon. Cacao has been declared dead but Christian is now
working for Oracle on hotspot.

- notifications when packages gets uploaded or dominated out
- provide additional metadata through some HTTP interface
