Hi Debian Java, I'm working on a package that depends on javacc via the javacc-maven-plugin. The toolchain is broken at runtime and there is also a FTBFS bug for javacc-maven-plugin [0], both of which appear related to the the upload of jtb 1.4.12 [1]. First, I'd like to politely ask why the new version of jtb without an update to javacc-maven-plugin, when that's its only r-dep in the archive. Is jtb used in some other context that required the new version? Or maybe the jtb update is the first step in updating the toolchain? But primarily I'd like to know what efforts are in progress and how I might help. Do we need both new javacc and javacc-maven-plugin versions? Or can the existing versions be patched to work with the newer jtb? In addition to the jbibtex package I'm working on, the FTBFS for javacc-maven-plugin is going to transitively affect a number of other packages. Thanks! tony [0] https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=887785 [1] https://tracker.debian.org/news/899962
