I have already hacked this into the sagemath package (in sagemath-deps / sagemath-deps-common) but this has zero chance of passing NEW. I have some experience with java packaging, I can try to pick this up over the next week. The good thing is this package hasn't been updated in a few years so at least we're not trying to hit a moving target. The bad thing is this package hasn't been updated in a few years so probably all its dependencies are "too new" now. Andreas, could you tell us some more details that need to be done? Just on a quick build attempt I can see the following: - probably need to do something about that ugly jsmol.zip - build requires you to press <enter>, this can probably easily be fixed - build fails to compile due to (probably) mismatching naga API, more research needed to see if this is easily fixable. I see earlier on in this bug thread other people mentioned jmolspec and jspecview, has that issue been resolved?
