Time for the second round of things that needs to be checked/fixed. These items stalls uploading 3.7 to sid. * Test the binaries - so far I only know it builds on amd64. It *probably* works, but feel free to take it for a spin. * Check that other eclipse packages still build. Particularly, check the "pdebuild" script in eclipse-pde was generated correctly. - feel free to file bugs accordingly. - eclipse-cdt will probably need a new upstream version. * Check up on some of the lintian warnings. There was at least one warning about a symlink being absolute. I could not figure out why dh_link did not fix it. * All the other issues I forgot about. Yes, I expect you to know what I forgot! :P > If you would like to help with any of those, feel free to claim a task > and work on it.
