[pkg-eucalyptus-maintainers] Bug#681923: some comments on the packaging

[Thomas Koch]

Hi,

a new version of libjson-simple-java is available in unstable which now 
correctly installs its maven artifacts so I tried to fix my patch for gwt.

I have to give up for now. Several things made me crazy:

- Do you like CDBS? It drives me crazy. It's so complicate! Wouldn't you like 
to switch to debhelper?

- I would need to add maven-repo-helper to the mix, but you already use 
javahelper and the CDBS lib of javahelper and I haven't manage to get it to 
work yet. - I know how to do it with debhelper.

- Usually, debian-java people use one git repository for one Debian source 
package. The repo on github[1] includes several packages.

- Then you could also use pristine-tar to add the upstream tarball to the Git 
repo and have the upstream tarball also committed to an upstream branch of the 
Git repo.

Would you like to switch the gwt packaging to Git?
