Hi,
This week I looked into the jars that were in the ideaSDK directory. patched in all I could so that kotlin builds. we need to package 6 more packages to make kotlin build just from the debian archive. Of the 6 packages I have identified the sourcesof 5 and partially packaged 3(i.e I haven't done the copyrights file and the changelogs and such minutiae ). Next week I plan to to package the remaining 2 and start with intellij-core package as well. if we finish packaging these 6 then I think we are ready to upload kotlin. I ll try to make wiki page for kotlin today and also file an ITP.
Cheers,
Saif Abdul Cassim
