I'm sadly still mostly not working on Debian due to a huge day job push, but the good news from the Debian Java perspective is that the huge push is in absorbing a bunch of Java applications (both web applications and long-running daemons) from another part of our organization. That means that I'm getting a crash course in Java, and have now developed a couple of Spring-based Java applications, including a webapp, and have been deploying a whole pile of occasionally quite complex applications.
My goal for wheezy is to start turning that experience into policy, helpers, and supporting packages for Debian. In particular, I want to pursue DEP-7 and webapp deployment in Debian, since what we're doing internally right now in deploying an init script to start Tomcat separately for each application is horrible. I also want to get as many of our upstream dependencies for our applications packaged properly for Debian as I can. We're using Maven 2 for all our applications, and I want to build our internal packages following Debian policy, so I want to understand how Maven-based packaging is currently implemented and see if I can help with enhancing it. Separately, we run a federated identity system called Shibboleth, and the identity provider component is a large Tomcat application with lots of dependencies. I would like to work with the Shibboleth and Java teams to get that software packaged properly for Debian. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
