Well, I have been in discussion with Andreas Radke about the JRE and JDK packages. Here is the thing, they are both greatly outdated, they are at u7 when the latest is u10, both have a pending bug and a pending feature request, and both have no maintainer.
I can't take on neither of them, since I don't need them, so I won't test them after upgrade and bug fixing. The bug that needs fixing is a very easy one to fix, so no problem from that way, is just the time which is the problem.
Now, we have an option, should we keep it in extra where some developer in search of an orphan to adopt for his collection can take care of it, or should we move it to Community/AUR?
Looks like no developers are really expressing interest in this. Java seems like a pretty important package to have in the official repos, but if no one is willing to maintain it we have ourselves a problem.
Is there a TU that is willing to take these packages on for community?
I'll take these to keep them in extra, if nobody else does. I know I rely on them. I'll give it a week and then adopt. - P
