This is too much work and I'm afraid if I do not get help I'll miss the 2019-02-12 - Soft-freeze deadline for davmail to be part of the Debian buster release. I'll continue working on this anyhow. My work will be regularly published at https://salsa.debian.org/debian/davmail/tree/httpclient4-api For davmail in buster, the options are : 1) let davmail being removed from buster (because it does not work with the newer libjackrabbit, because low popcon, because a backport can be made available later) 2) upload a libjackrabbit-old-java compatible with davmail and build against this (I can prepare this). 3) holding libjackrabbit-java 2.18 from reaching buster because it breaks its only rdep. 4) fixing the 1300+ compile errors before the soft freeze and ensure few regressions (unlikely I can do this by February as I'm learning libhttpclient-java and the davmail codebase at the same time) Please advice, Alex
