Hi Dalibor, I've suspended my discussion of the topic on -devel for the convenience of other Debianers (many of whom think Java is fat, slow, proprietary and silly). I regret that I wasn't at FOSDEM with you, but I was inconveniently in America at the time. I'll also agree that we haven't had

Ean, dude, you've been treating Arnaud terribly on here. How about you get over it, work on your package a bit, and simply cheer up? All I've seen, as an outsider to this, is a vast amount of defensive posturing from you. I've observed Arnaud trying to be nice to you - why are you still trying

Hi, As an up-up-stream maintainer for GNU Classpath, which is used by kaffe and as a kaffe developer I must say that I find some emails about maintaining the kaffe package for Debian highly unfair to Arnaud. Arnaud does all the work on kaffe and communicates with lots of other package maintainers
