Already  read  it on  debian-java  but  don't know  what  to  do at  the
moment... maybe ask the Debian Maintainer: Ean R. Schuessler
.

Hi all,

I was just reading the bug list email and I spotted two java packages 
are marked for removal from testing.  I don't really use java much 
myself these days, so I thought I'd wave them at this list.

orp is being removed because of a bug that looks quite fully diagnosed 
at http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=185881 but not 
fixed.  It hasn't been acknowledged by the maintainer according to 
http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2003/debian-release-200308/msg00025.html 
This wasn't mentioned in the 27 Aug bug list.  It might be a recent REMOVE 
list addition.

kaffee is still being removed because of more complex reasons, it 
seems, from 
http://lists.debian.org/debian-release/2003/debian-release-200304/msg00022.html 
Please take a look at http://bugs.debian.org/src:kaffe and see if you can 
help.  This was discussed in the last Java RC bug list on this list.
well, it's been marked to be removed for quite a while now. 
Unfortunately, no kaffe 1.1.x package has ever made it into testing so 
far, due to bugs during the build on some platforms. While some are 
getting fixed, others pop up ;)

I assume the reason it's being marked [remove] is a security bug against 
an old version (1.0.5). That one was fixed, but unfortunately the fix 
didn't build anymore on some platforms.

To make a long story short, I hope that the upcoming 1.1.2 will finally 
make it past testing, as it should fix the huge compilation issues 
almost everyone not using i386-linux or i386-freebsd2 had.

To cite debian's bug tracker: 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?which=src&data=kaffe&archive=no&pend-exc=pending-fixed&pend-exc=fixed&pend-exc=done&sev-inc=critical&sev-inc=grave&sev-inc=serious

Serious policy violations - outstanding (3 bugs)

* #197617: kaffe_1:1.0.5e-1(m68k/stable/poseidon): FTBFS, missing 
build-dep
  Package: kaffe; Severity: serious; Reported by: Stephen R Marenka
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Tags: woody; 111 days old.

	Needs Ean to add a dependency to the package apparently, so that it can 
build again.

* #205327: kaffe_1:1.1.1-2: FTBFS: missing terminating character
  Package: kaffe; Severity: serious; Reported by: Bdale Garbee 
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Tags: help, patch; 52 days old.

	Fixed in current kaffe CVS, I hope. Except for the crash during 
compilation of class library on alpha, which needs someone on 
alpha-linux to hack it back into shape.

* #208025: kaffe: man page misplaced (under /usr/lib/kaffe)
  Package: kaffe; Severity: serious; Reported by: "Aaron M. Ucko" 
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>; Tags: patch; 35 days old.

	Debian specific bug, a patch is there.

So it's not as bleak as it seems. ;) It would be great if the debian 
developers could get an updated 1.0.5 out of the door, and then proceed 
to wrap up 1.1.2 when it's out.

cheers,
