Hello Barry, It's nice to see an original maintainer of java-package back on it. I hope you will like the changes I made to it :-) Current state of work is : - sources have moved to git (git.debian.org/git/pkg-java/java-package.git) - java-package 0.50 has been pushed to sid and wheezy (sponsored by Sylvestre Ledru) - I'm currently merging contributions I received on my github ( https://github.com/cedricpineau/java-package). Mainly code and branding cleaning, support for oracle java6<u10 as well as future versions - I'm planning to add IBM java 6 and 7 packaging support ( http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/linux/download.html) - I keep track of further improvement in the README file of the git repo :-) One important thing I did left behind for now because I don't get what has to be done for it, is Matthias Klose request : "install into a multiarch location to allow installing the i386 client vm on amd64 and ia64" I would appreciate if you Barry or anyone one this thread could give me tips on this ! -- Cédric
