| daveys | Hi all. I'm interested in helping package Java projects for Ubuntu. Hope I'm in the correct place ! | 17:16 |
|---|---|---|
| jamespage | daveys: you sure are! | 17:22 |
| jamespage | anything specifically you would be interested in? | 17:23 |
| daveys | Thanks. I mostly work in the Java Enterprise area, so I know all of that stuff pretty well. I'm just learning about packing though so am a bit of a noob there. | 17:25 |
| daveys | I've been looking at the Ubuntu wiki (Java related), but it seems a bit confusing with lots of pages that look abandoned. I'm not really sure where to start | 17:26 |
| jamespage | daveys: yeah - the Java stuff on the Ubuntu wiki is largely un-maintained and obsolete | 19:36 |
| jamespage | daveys, a good place to start would be to work on some bug fixes for existing packages | 19:37 |
| jamespage | we will at some point transition to Java7 - some bugs can be found to work on here - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/JavaTeam/Java7Default | 19:38 |
| jamespage | the other thing to note is that the Java libraries and applications in Ubuntu come from Debian | 19:38 |
| jamespage | and the delta between Debian and Ubuntu in this area is quite small! | 19:38 |
| jamespage | I work in both distros; I try todo most stuff through Debian first but it can be a bit slower. | 19:39 |
| jamespage | Joining the debian-java team and subscribing to the mailing lists would be a good start. | 19:39 |
| jamespage | this is the full list of the packages maintained by that team - http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=pkg-java-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org | 19:40 |
| jamespage | daveys: http://pkg-java.alioth.debian.org/ | 19:41 |
| daveys | Thanks for the info James. I'll have a look at those bugs and the mailing list and see if any of them make sense ! | 21:40 |
