Hi Miguel,

Just so you're aware, and to try to facilitate coordination, Tim Potter
is also working on this and the packaging of the necessary r-deps.  An
updated jnr-x86asm is now in experimental as part of that effort.

Here are the r-dep ITPs I'm aware of, and I think that #771271 is
already covered by the existing jffi package (but which also needs an
update):

> #771267 [w|  |  ] [wnpp] ITP: jnr-unixsocket -- Java access to native libraries for unix sockets
> #771268 [w|  |  ] [wnpp] ITP: jnr-enxio -- Java extended native cross-platform I/O library
> #771269 [w|  |  ] [wnpp] ITP: jnr-ffi -- Java library for loading native libraries without writing writing JNI code
> #771271 [w|  |  ] [wnpp] ITP: jnr-jffi -- Low-level library implementing the JNR Java foreign function interface
> #771272 [w|  |  ] [wnpp] ITP: jnr-constants -- Java library to encapsulate constants in native libraries

Nice to have multiple folks interested in this.

Cheers,
tony
