Any volunteer to maintain JAI that is RC buggy and dead upstream (Was: Bug#793369: jai-core: FTBFS - JPEGImageDecoder.java:29: error: package com.sun.image.codec.jpeg does not exist)

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

since Mathieu declared he will not keep on maintaining his Debian Med
packages we have no active Uploader for this package to care for bugs
like this.  Since I have no idea how to fix this I'm just asking for
volunteers whether we will be able to properly maintain the package
inside Debian or whether we rather want to drop it.

There might be some chance to replace the non-free JAI by the free
JAI-EXT which could be a potential replacement (but I have no idea how
much adaptation is needed).

Kind regards

        Andreas.
