Bug#526489: Re: Bug#526489: Time to orphan eclipse? (Bug#526489: eclipse: should this package be orphaned?)

[Markus Knauer]

Hi *,

can I be of any help?

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 eclipse.org/downloads 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.

Or did you contact one of the persons of the Linux Distro Project? Maybe
they have some resources they can spend on that?

Regards, Markus
