Hey folks, |
2 |
|
3 |
Eclipse 3.3 has been out for a bit now, and 3.2.2 even longer, and I |
4 |
haven't had the time to sit down to get either fully packaged. So, I'm |
5 |
looking for someone to step up and maintain it. |
6 |
|
7 |
So here are some details about the package: |
8 |
|
9 |
* It is in dual-herd: dev-tools and java |
10 |
* We work with other downstream packagers as part of the Eclipse Linux |
11 |
Distrubtions project. Mostly, we share patches that make things a bit |
12 |
saner in a Linux environment. |
13 |
* The ebuild is pretty long, at 403 or so lines |
14 |
* There's a lot of patching/tweaking going on. There's some 26 patches, |
15 |
10 or so seds, and some miscellaneous changes that occur. |
16 |
|
17 |
In addition to eclipse-sdk itself, there are a number of Eclipse plugins |
18 |
in the tree. At this point, they've started to get a bit crufty. We've |
19 |
generally been encouraging people to use the update manager for now. |
20 |
Fortunately, some of the other downstream peeps have come up with a sane |
21 |
method for maintaining plugin packages. But, we'd need to get 3.2.2 or |
22 |
3.3 package before we can pursue it. |

I did write up some notes awhile back on the Java wiki: |

|
29 |
I'm sure people are frothing at the mouth to maintain Eclipse at this |
30 |
point. So, please drop an email to java@g.o, and we can work out |
31 |
how to hand things over. |
