Kotlin: looking for a DD to review/upload
Hello,
Kotlin packaging[1] is in a good shape and ready to be uploaded[2] into
Debian. We need a DD willing to upload it.
The actual upload needs to wait for openjdk-8, which is currently in the
NEW queue, to be accepted first. However, the wait time can be used to
do any final reviews. The status of the package is as follows:
- debian/bootstrap script provides a convenient way to download upstream
binaries and turn them into .deb package. This is used to build Kotlin
in stage1. debian/README.source explains how.
- Kotlin can rebuild itself using the output of stage1. It has been
tested up to stage 5/6 (repeated rebuild using previous stage output).
- Kotlin is almost reproducible with only minor diff due to a couple of
bugs related to stable order in code generation.
- debian/copyright file went through multiple rounds of review including
one recently.
- There are no lintian errors/warnings except for need of manpages.
- debian/patches have been reorganized so that they can be easily
cleaned up when uploading a newer version.
