Re: Remove groovy



Hi,

I kindly object to having groovy removed! I absolutely need it for the next FreeMind release, that I expect to get in Debian at last!

In response to Marcus (Better), I looked a while ago in groovy and there were still some packages missing, but, in deed, doing a better job than currently shouldn't be too hard.

OK, I can have a look if nobody else wants it. Is the maintainer Markus Crafter somewhat MIA?

It was reported to the Security Team, that groovy embeds a lot of packages,
several of them security-sensitive:

Since it's in contrib, it's not security-supported, but given the state of it (outdated,
hardly any users) it should likely be just removed?
Unless anyone objects within the next days, I'll file an RM bug.

Perhaps people on the debian-java list should be given the chance to
adopt or fix groovy or give an opinion on it's usefulness? CCing them.

I'm also hoping icedtea will happen for lenny so maybe it will be able
to move to main.
