Hi Neal, I heard about the difficulties of some Java packages recently and, although I haven't contributed to a Linux distribution in a long time, I decided to help somehow and joined some Fedora mailing lists and am trying to get my head around https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_package_collection_maintainers. I initially offered help to maintain the Maven packages that are being orphaned, https://pagure.io/releng/issue/8179. Now it seems this conversation is more complicated but I haven't given up just yet. Hope I can make some progress until the end of the month. Thanks for waking us up! -- Ingo _______________________________________________ java-devel mailing list -- java-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to java-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/java-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
