Hey folks, Eclipse 3.3 has been out for a bit now, and 3.2.2 even longer, and I haven't had the time to sit down to get either fully packaged. So, I'm looking for someone to step up and maintain it. So here are some details about the package: * It is in dual-herd: dev-tools and java * We work with other downstream packagers as part of the Eclipse Linux Distrubtions project. Mostly, we share patches that make things a bit saner in a Linux environment. * The ebuild is pretty long, at 403 or so lines * There's a lot of patching/tweaking going on. There's some 26 patches, 10 or so seds, and some miscellaneous changes that occur. In addition to eclipse-sdk itself, there are a number of Eclipse plugins in the tree. At this point, they've started to get a bit crufty. We've generally been encouraging people to use the update manager for now. Fortunately, some of the other downstream peeps have come up with a sane method for maintaining plugin packages. But, we'd need to get 3.2.2 or 3.3 package before we can pursue it. I did write up some notes awhile back on the Java wiki: https://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/java/wiki/Eclipse_Maintenance https://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/java/wiki/Eclipse_Plugin_Maintenance I'm sure people are frothing at the mouth to maintain Eclipse at this point. So, please drop an email to [email protected], and we can work out how to hand things over. -- Joshua Nichols Gentoo/Java Developer Gentoo/Ruby Developer http://technicalpickles.com -- [email protected] mailing list
