[17:08] <hawa7> hi, is there any reason why the eclipse package is still in version 3.8 and accordingly 6 years old?
[17:09] <Rhonda> You mean besides noone investing the time to work on it?
[17:09] <hawa7> exactly
[17:11] <hawa7> seems like a very long time. so there could be a another reason apart from the usual
[17:11] <Rhonda> From what I understood there were changes to it that made it harder to package, and it's java.  But I never digged deeper into it, and when I asked only frustration came back from the people that tried to work on it.
[17:13] <hawa7> i understand, java indeed is ugly
[17:13] <hawa7> this is the first package i came across in ubuntu, which is really that old
[17:16] <hawa7> is there a list of packages with their respective age in universe?
[21:32] <Unit193> Perhaps Debian 681726.
