Back in January, I told this list about the work I put into building
proper Debian packages for ElasticSearch and its dependencies. I thought
I'd find somebody to take ownership of those packages because I felt
(and still feel) that simply dropping them into the archive and letting
the Debian Java Maintainers worry about bugs that I wouldn't be able to
fix is antisocial behavior.
I did get some bits of feedback, but generally the last few months have
been quiet: #660826 and its blockers have been sitting in the BTS
without much visible activity. Howver, last weekend I finally took the
time to polish ES 1.0.3 and everything that is needed and uploaded those
packages. They are waiting in the NEW queue for initial acceptance by
ftp-master.
Since I still don't want to throw a dozen packages at a team without
being asked to do so, I set myself as the sole maintainer for now, but
as soon as any non-trivial bugs are reported against those packages,
I'll file RFH bugs. (I still don't consider myself a Java developer.)
Cheers,
-Hilko
