-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
Asheesh Laroia made me aware that pkg-java-maintainers may not be the appropriate list. So I forward the message below. Regards Jan Dittberner - ----- Forwarded message from Jan Dittberner <[email protected]> ----- Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2009 23:14:45 +0100 From: Jan Dittberner <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Cc: Arnaud Vandyck <[email protected]>, John Leuner <[email protected]>, Michael Koch <[email protected]>, Barry Hawkins <[email protected]>, Matthias Klose <[email protected]>, Asheesh Laroia <[email protected]> Subject: antlr package X-Operating-System: Linux denkpolster 2.6.26-1-amd64 Hello, recently I built a new package (xlwt) depending on a file in antlr (2.x series). When I started work on xlwt one of the Python module team members mentioned in IRC that antlr is not in a good shape too. I looked at antlr during the last days and I have the feeling that the package could really need some care. I'm writing to all of you because I want to avoid starting work that may already be in progress. The package page at [1] tells me that there is an uploaded version by Asheesh Laroia at the mentors.debian.net repository [2]. I looked at it and saw that the package fixes the RC bug but doesn't improve it any further. [1] http://packages.qa.debian.org/a/antlr.html [2] http://mentors.debian.net/cgi-bin/sponsor-pkglist?action=details;package=antlr I'd like to help with the package with reviewing patches fixing lintian stuff and looking at the BTS (and hopefully find solutions for bugs). I'm in NM but maintain some other packages [3] for a while so I have some experience with packaging. Maybe my Java knowledge will be of help too (antlr spits a lot of deprecation warnings that should IMHO be reported/fixed in antlr upstream). [3] http://qa.debian.org/[email protected] Should I start working on the package? I could use svn if anybody could add me to the pkg-java team on alioth (my alioth account is jandd-guest). Before starting new work I think the diff between svn trunk and the current uploaded version of antlr has to be committed to svn though. I'm CCing antlr Uploaders and Matthias Klose who uploaded the latest antlr version because I don't know wheter you're members of the team's list.
