Orphaning JBoss Tools package

[Gerard Ryan]

Hi devel list (and cc'ed eclipse-sig list),

I'm going to orphan the eclipse-jbosstools package in rawhide, as I'm no
longer able to give it the time that it needs. My understanding is that
if nobody takes it, it will be auto-retired after 6 weeks (please
correct me if I'm wrong here).

If you're interested in taking it & have any questions, I'm happy to
provide any input I can. I think ideally it would want more than one
active maintainer to get it into the shape that it needs to be (not all
features are currently packaged, and significant effort would be
required there).

Thanks,
Gerard.

Hi Gerard.

I'm interested in stepping up and maintaining this package as I
occasionally use it and would love to see it fully supported on Fedora.

Hi Marcus,

That's great to hear that you're interested in it. Like you said, it
would be great to see all of it in Fedora, since it's great for the kind
of development that it targets.

Currently it doesn't build in Rawhide because of missing dependencies.
Also there's a new release that I spend a couple of weekends trying to
get to work, but eventually failed.

Have you had a chance to look at it yet and try it out?

Gerard.

Hi Gerard.

I started looking at it over the weekend and have now started looking
into getting it upgraded to the latest upstream release. Not a lot of
questions yet as I have found that it has so far been very well
packaged. If you have any ideas or pointers that I should keep in mind
then they are of course highly appreciated. I hope to have something up
fairly soon but it may take some time before it's all there.
