Welcome Guillaume, [I've kept you CC since I don't know if you're subscribed to debian-java or openjdk ML] On Fri, 13 May 2011 11:36:40 +0200, Guillaume Mazoyer <respawneral@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:My name is Guillaume Mazoyer and I am the student who will work on packaging Jigsaw (modular VM for Java 8) for Debian during this summer as part of the Google Summer of Code. http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2011/Jigsaw I would like to join the openjdk packaging team to contribute to the openjdk package. I have a lot to learn about this package and that's also why I'm a student for this GSoC.Did you plan to work directly on OpenJDK8 or will you try to package the "jigsaw" forest of opendjk7 [1] ?
afaik, the OpenJDK8 development is currently done behind closed doors, so which other chance do you have besides working with 7?
As of packaging all this on Debian/Ubuntu, we currently have two main JDK repositories [2] [3]. You should have a look to some "guidelines" I've written for new comers to this package (like me :) [4]Joining this team will also allow me to get more familiar with the Debian processes and the openjdk package.
I really would like to see this work being done within the IcedTea project, not (just) within the packaging. Are there any issues preventing this?
