notfound 505553 3.2.2-5

thanks
Hi Andreas
Sorry for the late reply and thank you for your interest in eclipse.
To the best of my knowledge 3.2.2 and eclipse 3.4.1 were built with a
pristine tarball - the only difference was upstream shipped it as a zip
file and it was repacked into a tar.gz for Debian. Upstream does have a
"src" zip-file, but they do not "promote" it. It can be found on their
download site under "Other downloads" and then scroll a bit down in the
list (as I recall).
Nevertheless, for 3.5.1 we have decided to ally ourselves with
eclipse-build and Fedora - Therefore your request makes sense for the
coming 3.5.1 series and this is why I will keep it open (as a reminder).
For now, if you (or anyone else) are interested in helping out with
eclipse 3.5.1:
We are using eclipse-build (e-b)[1] and our VCS has moved to git[2]. The
git repository have all the required files to build eclipse, so you do
not have to download the tarballs from e-b[1].
You can find us at #eclipse-linux on irc.freenode.net, #debian-java on
irc.debian.org or per email depending on your preferred means of
communication. I do not mind answering question specific to packaging
eclipse - also please reply here if you feel we should add more
information than this.
I have added "patch" to encourage people to read this bug if they want to
help out or wants to know more about how we build eclipse 3.5.1.
