Bug#685871: Status of gerrit packaging

[Thomas Koch]

Hi,

I've been waiting for a new version (with a fix) of apache-mina-sshd to be 
released to continue working on the Gerrit packaging. Currently all essential
dependencies are preliminary packaged and available in Git repos:

http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-java/libprolog-cafe-java.git
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-java/libmime-util-java.git
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-java/libmina-sshd-java.git
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-java/libjpam-java.git
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-java/libjuniversalchardet-java.git
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-java/libgwtorm-java.git
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-java/libgwtjsonrpc-java.git
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-java/libgwtexpui-java.git

I don't ask for sponsorship yet since we're in freeze and the packages still 
need a final review: copyright, pbuilder test, lintian. If however somebody
wants to review and upload them to experimental I'd be more than happy!

These bugs with patches available block gerrit, we just need to wait:

dpkg: 683547 dpkg-source fails on a patch series deleting a file after patching
guice: 685871 servlet extension for guice
gwt: 681923 please install to debian maven repo

The following dependencies are not critical and I'll try to patch them out:

685875: RFP: parboiled -- parser library based on Parsing expression grammars
685874: RFP: libpegdown-java -- lightweight Java Markdown processor library
683642: ITP: gwt-maven-plugin -- maven plugin to compile Google Web Toolkit applications
607891: RFP: h2database -- relational database management system written in Java

I'll try to get gerrit working before continuing to work on the dependencies.

Best regards,
