Dear Java team,

we are currently investigating the possibility of using
jenkins.debian.net to support building packages directly out of VCS.

James Page of Canonical has already put a lot of effort into
packaging jenkins in accordance with Debian policy.

Currently he seems to be waiting for some support from the side of
Debian to resolve outstanding issues and sponsor the package upload
into the Debian archive.

I myself have no experience with Java, so I was hoping that by
establishing contact with you, I could get the ball rolling.

Would the pkg-java team be able to cooperate with James to get
jenkins into Debian proper?

Thank you for your consideration!

Sponsoring and reviewing effort is already underway. AFAIK, many packages have
been sponsored by me and Tony Mancil.

IIRC, all submitted RFS have been uploaded, but many packages are still
missing :

James, could you provide a (link ?) to updated status of your packaging effort
? And is there something we (Debian Java Team) could do to help you ?

Cheers,
