Hello Barry,
It's nice to see an original maintainer of java-package back on it. I
hope you will like the changes I made to it :-)
Current state of work is :
- sources have moved to git
(git.debian.org/git/pkg-java/java-package.git
<http://git.debian.org/git/pkg-java/java-package.git>)
- java-package 0.50 has been pushed to sid and wheezy (sponsored by
Sylvestre Ledru)
- I'm currently merging contributions I received on my github
(https://github.com/cedricpineau/java-package). Mainly code and branding
cleaning, support for oracle java6<u10 as well as future versions
- I'm planning to add IBM java 6 and 7 packaging support
(http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/linux/download.html)
- I keep track of further improvement in the README file of the git
repo :-)
One important thing I did left behind for now because I don't get what
has to be done for it, is Matthias Klose request : "install into a
multiarch location to allow installing the i386 client vm on amd64 and ia64"
I would appreciate if you Barry or anyone one this thread could give
me tips on this !
