Bug#466336: O: ikvm -- Java virtual machine/compiler implemented in .NET (Mono)

[Dave Beckett <dajobe@debian.org>]

Package: wnpp
Severity: normal


I intend to orphan the ikvm package.


To any future maintainer:

There are lots of packaging problems that ikvm 0.36.0.5 have
including needing extra source packages, plus licensing concerns of
combining OpenJDK, Classpath and IKVM code, some of which is only
available in unreleased software.  A complete pain I'd imagine.

ikvm is a b*gger to build and regularly fails when the mono
toolchain changes (which is often).  It also fails to build on
many architectures.

Good luck.
