Orphaning packages

[Vivek Lakshmanan]

Hello,
I have been unable to provide necessary attention to a number of java
packages I owned for the last little while, and I am afraid my
schedule is only going to get tighter in the future. As a result I
have orphaned the following packages:

bea-stax
byaccj
classpathx-jaf
classpathx-jaxp
crytpix-asn1
isorelax
jakarta-commons-collections
jakarta-commons-pool
java_cup
jaxen
jaxen-bootstrap
jgroups
jlex
jzlib
ldapjdk
log4j
regexp
saxon
saxon8
tanukiwrapper
tomcat5
velocity
xalan-j2
xmlrpc

I apologize if any bugs you reported have not been acted upon recently.
If some brave soul would like to take over, I can provide guidance,
though it may be somewhat sporadic.
Vivek

I would be interested in take some of these packages.

tanukiwrapper
velocity
xmlrpc
log4j

I will definitely take. If the rest are dependencies I can take
them for now.

Sincerely,
jesus

Thanks Jesus... Tomcat is by far the heaviest of these packages
and
needs almost all of the rest. Fortunately Devrim Gunduz has been doing
a great job maintaining it and I believe pkgdb already shows him to be
the owner. Apart from the ones you mentioned, most are maven2 deps and
probably best discussed with dbhole (maven2 owner). In the meantime
please feel free to adopt the packages you expressed interest in. I
believe the process is documented here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageMaintainers/UsingPackagedb#head-e191...
Do let me know if I can provide any assistance.

I'm interested in this as well, both for Fedora and EPEL 5, let me know if 
you'd like me to co-maintain or take primary ownership of it.

Devrim helped a lot with tomcat5 and IIRC expressed some interest in
maintaining it, so adding him to Cc, in case he didn't notice. Maybe he
is the brave soul to take over some other packages as well.

:) 

I took 7 more packages. If we cannot find to maintain the rest of the
orphaned packages, I'll take them, too.

I already got Tomcat5 ownership as you released it.

Looks like saxon8 hasn't been imported to CVS yet:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=227115

I'll take saxon8 and push it for build, too.
