Package: jflex Severity: wishlist Dear maintainer,
I've been working on packaging the latest version of jolokia (2.6.0) in Debian, as a transitive dependency of openvox-server.
Unfortunately, the new jolokia-json artifact fails to compile with jflex 1.6.1, but it does work with 1.8.2 which exists in experimental.
I noticed the TODO in the jflex source package mentions several reverse-deps that would be broken with a newer version, as the reason it's not yet uploaded to unstable. I can at least confirm that of those, qdox, which has a significant popcon value, still doesn't compile with jflex 1.8.2.
Given the situation, would it make sense to introduce a jflex1.9 source package? I noticed that one could probably build both binary packages (lib and maven plugin) from the same source, hosted at https://github.com/jflex-de/jflex
Thanks! -- Jérôme
