I suggest removing (or renaming) the debian directory and running
mh_make. Ignore anything that is related to tests, deployment, QA (like
jacoco) and focus on the core modules to keep it simple. This will
generate a first buildable version of the project. You can gradually
enable more modules and tests later if it works well.

It is, thank you!

I can help to check, at least for my packages. I can also check others,
but maybe will not be as good as spotting problems.

For svn, I think I can help, although if you already have a list (as
Markus asked) that would help.

BTW, this recalls me that libjgrapht0.8 (which is my only package still
on svn) is probably in the need of some dust removal. Debian also ships
libjgrapht0.6 as a separate source package. Both are terribly old, since
upstream has released 1.1.0. However, I am a bit unsure on how to handle
this situation: I do not know much the API remained stable between 0.6,
0.6 and 1.1.0 and thus how to manage the update causing the least
inconvenience possible. I also have a similar problem with
libstax2-api-java and libwoodstox-java. Maybe it is better to wait for
the end of the migration, but if someone could at some point enlighten
me on the best practices, I would be grateful.

Thanks, Giovanni.

I'd love to actually update to the most recent upstream. The build system
switched
from ant to maven, and I am completely unfamiliar with it. First, I got a
fatal error
about not finding org.sonatype.oss:oss-parent:pom, so I tried deleting that
section
of the pom.xml. Then the build can't find jacoco-mavin-plugin is missing.
That's
where I'm currently stuck.

control/
Build-Depends: javahelper, debhelper, maven-debian-helper,
libmaven-shared-utils-java, quilt, cdbs, libjacoco-java
Build-Depends-Indep: default-jdk

We'll be happy you help with specific Java issues (either on this list
or on the #debian-java IRC channel for a more interactive debugging
session). Regarding #895761 it seems that setting the source encoding
will fix the errors reported (just add the attribute
encoding="ISO-8859-1" to the  tasks in the build.xml file).

Hi Giovanni,

I've moved the geogebra repository, could you check if it's ok?

  https://salsa.debian.org/java-team/geogebra

I think I'll just complete the mass migration myself, but I'll need help
afterward to check if everything is ok (like missing or empty
repositories). I'll also need help to migrate the ~60 packages still in
Subversion.

request for help: jhove

[Jeff Breidenbach]

I'm the Debian package maintainer for jhove, which is an image validator
and really useful for libraries and other cultural heritage institutions.

It is about to get kicked out due to bug #895761. The right thing to do is
update the jhove to the current upstream version. However, I haven't touched
Java packaging for a very long time, and since then the world has changed.
My first attempt went nowhere.

Is someone willing to help out? I'm appreciative of assistance at any
level: advice, patches, NMU, package adoption.  Thank you in advance.

Thank you very much for working on this migration. Is manual migration
of one's packages helpful, neutral or disruptive? I would like to upload
geogebra (and maybe other packages), and would take the chance to
migrate it and update Vcs-* tags, but I can wait for the migration to
finish if this would disturb your scripts.

Thanks, Giovanni.

Yes, I plan to do that once I'm confident the migration worked properly.
