Personally I encourage you to do it - especially if Steffen is busy and you have the time to spare. Unfortunately I do not know anything about the package here in question nor cdk. However, you can certainly prepare 0.8 and get it uploaded under a different name (libjgrapht0.8-java would be a sane choice). If cdk can be built with the new jgrapht, then we can just get the old one RMed. ~Niels
