Hi

I recently checked out antlr and liblogkit-java in order to fix the RC
bugs filed against them. I have committed my changes to the pkg-java and
will send out RFS for them in a couple of days if I do not hear anything
from their uploaders. Particularly antlr could use a bit more love, but
I have too little knowledge and experience with it.
I intend to do these as "Team Uploads"[1], which will lead to two
lintian warnings (beyond the ones I cannot fix).

On a related note: this might be a good time to update their uploader
list [2]. Particular antlr have 5 uploaders but looks like only two of
them have actually uploaded (or committed changes) this package in 2009.

antlr also have one bug left (#555498) that I did not know what to do
about. It looks like we are uncertain whether this bug belongs in antlr
or gpt.

As for liblogkit-java: it states that a change by Matthias Klose closes
#563884. It is something I added (the change was committed by Klose in
2008), since the bug was not present in package I checked out and it
appeared plausible that the change fixed the issue.
I am also keenly aware that liblogkit-java is obsolete (by upstream)
and I would love to have it RM'ed; however we still have packages
depending on it[3].

I am already working on migrating these packages to
libexcalibur-logkit-java. Expect RFS for velocity (at least) today.

Hi

Thanks for your work; is it correctly asserted that libfreemarker-java
is the only package that needs to be updated before we can get
liblogkit-java removed?
If so, then I will not try to get liblogkit-java uploaded.

Yes, libfreemarker-java is the only package remaining. I was working
on it when I found out that jython was pulling in GCJ during build.
Hence I fixed jython first.
libfreemarker-java will be updated today.
