Sponsor for the Nice compiler (Java extension)
Hi,
I am the main upstream author of the Nice language, which is an
extension of Java with many advanced features. It is released under the
GPL.
Homepage: http://nice.sourceforge.net
A few month ago, I already asked for a sponsor
(http://lists.debian.org/debian-mentors/2003/debian-mentors-200304/msg00307.html).
The main obstable for inclusion in Debian was then that Nice could
not go into main, since no free JVM was able to build it. I sent bug
reports, and fixed a few bugs in upstream Kaffe. Now, with Kaffe 1.1.1
in Debian, Nice can be built with free tools only, and thus go in main. :-)
Since the last request for a sponsor, I also took into account the
comments to improve the package. In particular, it is now a standard
(not native Debian) package.
I made the new package available at:
http://cristal.inria.fr/~bonniot/debian/
I am looking for comments about the packaging, and for a sponsor. I'm
also planning to apply to become a Debian developer.
Thanks for your help.
Daniel
