Hello Andreas,
If you're willing to migrate these to the pkg-java repo, I'll work on
updating them and uploading them as Java Team packages.
Also, I've been meaning to send you a mail regarding libsnappy-java,
since we have an RC bug there. The last commit makes it appear that you
were considering moving it debian-med in 2012. Is that still the case?
Cheers,
tony
