I request assistance with maintaining the libpgjava package and the libscram-java libstringprep-java dependencies. PostgreSQL JDBC Driver allows Java programs to connect to a PostgreSQL database (8.4 or later) using standard, database independent Java code. It is an open source JDBC driver written in Pure Java (Type 4), and communicates in the PostgreSQL native network protocol. Truth is, I do not understand the maven build system and even less so what the debhelper integration does with it. So far, forward-porting the libpgjava packaging to newer versions has worked, but now libscram-java has released a new version, and I just don't know how to update it to the new version. libstringprep-java has had a new version around for years, but it was incompatible with the back then current libscram-java version. Perhaps that situation has changed, and it can be updated as well (or even has to). Please get in touch with me, or just push and upload the new version(s) if you have the salsa permissions. Thanks, Christoph
