7 Could you please let me which packages didn't have source, and which
8 ones couldn't compile? Chances are they are things that I am
9 maintaining in experimental. For several things that were used cvs /
10 svn checkouts, I was hosting the files on a server I had access to
11 when I was in school, but have since graduated, and they finally got
12 around to nuking my webspace and account. Hopefully I will be able to
13 find an alternative sometime soon.

17 I'm using hibernate-2 on a project I'm currently working on. Might
18 want to give the official tree version a shot until I can get all the
19 tarballs back online.
20
21 > Is there anyone working on that now?
22 I haven't been working on it recently. I came up to a stopping point
23 as I mention below. Will probably pick up the torch again once I wrap
24 up some non-Gentoo projects and make some more progress on other
25 Gentoo things, such as finish my developer quizes ;)

27 > Has anyone using this list gotten it working for themselves?
28 As I mentioned, works for me. But please do share what packages are
29 giving you problems, and the errors that you are getting.

31 > Is this "splitting up JBoss" plan still going to go ahead?
32 The splitting up of JBoss is mostly done. There's only one or two
33 modules left to be packaged, but I kind of came to a stand still. It
34 came down to where one module couldn't find some static utility
35 functions, but I couldn't figure out for the life of me why they
36 couldn't be found because they appeared to be on the classpath.
37
38 Once those remaining modules are complete, then the last step would be
39 to put them together to resemble a normal JBoss installation. This
40 would involve either:
41
42 - Use the build.xml, by making all sorts of symlinks to the things it
43 would expect to be around
44 - Put the things together in the ebuild.
45
46 It would generally be better to use upstream provided method, but the
47 problem is that ant does a lot of copying, and ant isn't know how to
48 handle symlinks.
49
50 The problem with putting it together ourselves would be making sure it
51 is put together properly, and would be a PITA to maintain.

56 Another good place to look is on #gentoo-java.
