Hi, Emmanuel.

First of all, thank you for your kind reply. I have been lurking into the
debian-java archives (just relearning Java, since the 1.1 days) and I feel
that you guys have fostered an excellent environment, especially for newbies
and wannabe contributors (like me).

Yes, I know that pain. That being said, is there any anticipation of bumping
the epoch again?

That's great and would, at least, make it clear that once installed, at
least the basics of clojure would work.


Thanks once again,
