libswt and eclipse

Adrian Perez · External Since: Jun 25, 2009 Posts: 3

Hello list.

I'm almost finished packaging libswt-gtk-3.4.2, since eclipse is
orphaned and I've tried contacting libswt and azureus maintainer
without results, I'm a pretty bit loss in here, since I want the new
version be included in debian. Any tips?

Thanks for your reply.
I know I could upload to mentors. But since it's quite ethical to
request the maintainer's feedback before adopting a package, I was
asking because I have no way of establishing contact with him, since
I've tried a lot in the last days.

I'm currently doing some refinements, and planning to add the x86_64
and ppc versions as arch-patches.

I think the previous maintainer could sponsor it, but because he is
probably off, then I should RFS it.

Thank you all. Feedback welcome.

Adrian,

I am just wondering. Is the package based on the 3.4 package in Ubuntu
or is it package done from scratch?

Cheers,
Onkar

Hi Adrian,

I maintain SWT (swt-gtk) for Debian. If you send me the diff and dsc,
I'll look over your work this weekend. Adnan Hodzic was also
interested in adopting swt-gtk and azureus. If you like, you could
collaborate with him. Thanks for considering adopting swt-gtk and
azureus. They could use a maintainer that uses Azureus more frequently
than I do.

Cheers,
Shaun
