Uploads to mentors.debian.net aren't necessary. Since you are a member of the Java team and have commit rights to the pkg-java repos, you (or anyone else who would like to drive the migration) can make the changes to the packaging repo and then call out the list of packages that need to enter unstable. By the way, this is true for the other packages Java team-maintained you're working on now. You can skip the mentors.d.n upload and simply post an RFS to the list. (One potential drawback is that there's a smaller pool of potential sponsors.) The only other caveat I'd mention is that if the package doesn't have a way to recreate the orig.tar.gz tarball from the packaging repo (i.e. a working get-orig-source target or a pristine-tar branch), then mentors.d.n is nice because it supports uploading the entire source package as you built it. Cheers, tony
