Hi *,<br><br>can I be of any help?<br><br>I don't think that I have the time to take over the entire packaging of Eclipse in Debian - at least not at the moment, but I can offer to help and advice anyone who would be willing to do this. I am building all those packages that you can download from <a href="http://eclipse.org/downloads">eclipse.org/downloads</a> and we are just a few days away from the next major release - Galileo. So, maybe not the best moment to 'orphan' Eclipse in Debian. Personally I think it would be great to have a newer version of Eclipse and its tools in Debian.<br>
<br>Or did you contact one of the persons of the Linux Distro Project? Maybe they have some resources they can spend on that?<br><br>Regards, Markus<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/6/15 Andrew Vaughan <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ajv-lists@netspace.net.au">ajv-lists@netspace.net.au</a>></span><br>

Third and last warning, I will orphan eclipse next saturday (20th June), so if<br>
somebody from the Java team is interested, please step up now. Usually, I<br>
would have orphaned the package already, but I was hoping from somebody from the<br>
team take over it. Sadly, I did not get a word from any of the uploaders (a "i am not<br>
longer interested" email would have been nice) or from somebody else from the<br>
team.<br>
<br>
For the record, even if the last version we have in Debian is 3.2.2, there was<br>
some work done (from one year ago) in the SVN for the version 3.4:<br>
<a href="http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-java/trunk/eclipse/debian/?op=log&rev=0&sc=0&isdir=1" target="_blank">http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/pkg-java/trunk/eclipse/debian/?op=log&rev=0&sc=0&isdir=1</a><br>
