Hello packagers,
The Stewardship SIG is currently providing only bare-minimum
maintenance for some Java packages, and none of our packages depend on
them anymore.
So, we're looking for someone to take better care of them, preferably
someone who actively uses these packages or maintains a package that
depends on them.
The packages are:
- java-base64
- jboss-jstl-1.2-api
- jetty-version-maven-plugin
- stringtemplate4
- tagsoup
Directly dependent packages of java-base64:
- Java-WebSocket
- elasticsearch
- gherkin2-java
- java-vash
- java-xmlbuilder
- jets3t
- rescu
- smack
- sshj
Doesn't Java have a Base64 class in its standard library since Java 8?
Apologies if I remember wrong since I'm not doing any Java anymore and
haven't for years now, but the java-base64 could go away if dependent
upstreams used the built-in codec. My understanding is that it would
be the package maintainers' responsibility to bring this up, potentially
with patches, but it is also my understanding that we are dearly missing
maintainers in this area...
My 2 cents
