Hi Team Some of you may have been following the discussion around zookeeper and its future in Debian on debian-devel.
Clint Byrum (cc'ed) and myself discussed this last week and we would like to step up to help maintain this package in Debian. There are a couple of reasons for this: 1) zookeeper is a essential part of ensemble (see [0] and [1]) so having a well maintained package in Debian and Ubuntu is key to the success of this project. 2) zookeeper is part of the Hadoop Big-Data suite which is important for the Ubuntu Server Team strategically. The package is currently maintained by Debian Java Maintainers; we propose that this remains as is and that Clint and I pickup the outstanding bugs against this package for resolution in the immediate future. Neither Clint or I are Debian Developers so we will need help in the form of sponsorship to ensure that this package continues to be actively maintained. Regards James [0] https://ensemble.ubuntu.com/ [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2011/06/threads.html#00283 -- James Page Ubuntu Server Developer
