Dear All, Since recent sun java entered official debian non-free I thought to raise back discussion on jabref packaging for debian.
I am following up on jabref RFP->ITP bug as well as to people who showed their interest in having jabref packaged for Debian. At the moment, there is a preliminary packaging available along with original ITP (outdated 1.7 version I believe) and uptodate 2.0.1 (with 2.1beta patches) from Gregor Herrmann repository (http://www.toastfreeware.priv.at/debian/). I am not sure what Gregor's intent is regarding the package: I've downloaded .deb from your repository and it installed seemlessly. deb was lintian/linda clean and it seems that it was maintained by him for a while now, and even reflected recent inclusion of java into debian. Gregory, would you mind being official maintainer for the package and seeking the sponsor for it (may be someone debian science DD would be motivated enough to become permanent sponsor ? :-)) Or there is something which forbids you from doing that? Thank you all in advance and thank you Gregor for providing jabref package. P.S. Gregor, Unfortunately could not inspect jabref package thoroughly since http://www.toastfreeware.priv.at/debian/unstable/jabref_2.0.1+2.1b-2_i386.changes lacking read permissions for us ;-) -- .-. =------------------------------ /v\ ----------------------------= Keep in touch // \\ (yoh@|www.)onerussian.com Yaroslav Halchenko /( )\ ICQ#: 60653192 Linux User ^^-^^ [175555]
