Hey Armando, Thanks for your interest and welcome! There are many ways to jump into Java packaging. One way is to go through the bug reports and try confirming them and fixing them. Right now Debian/buster is in the release freeze, so it is a great time to fix bugs for the upcoming release.
Other ways are to search the bug tracker for "RFPs" Requests for Packaging and try packaging some of those. Or you can look for packages that could be updated, and update them. Here's the overview: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?email=pkg-java-maintainers%40lists.alioth.debian.org One specific project we could use help with is getting Kotlin into Debian. .hc ARMANDO FERREIRA LEE ENG: > Hi, > > Happy Friday to all of you!
