Hello, I've been watching the debian-.* mailing lists for a couple of weeks now and would like to contribute something to the debian effort. I have already debianized some packages for my own use when .deb's weren't available and would like to give them back to the community. There's one package in particular that I'd like to see in future debian releases, namely jikes (a rather fast Java compiler by IBM which is written in C++ and distributed by IBM in source form under an Open Source license agreement. hint: rather fast means that it blasts your jdk javac away :)). What's the correct approach for getting this thing out of my door into the debian archives (i.e. what issues need to be cleared beforehand ?)
