I already have to many projects without adding a new one, although I am sure they would love to have the help from you ;-))) > I would recommend to publish it at github (http://www.github.com). > (Hoping that using git is not causing you a headache :)) No. I have a github account. I use mercurial more than git, but git is an option... >>> [biblatex] >> I will look into this, and I also found biber (a biblatex >> replacement >> that has full unicode-6.0 support) > > Without the "la" -> biber is a bibtex replacement. > bibLAtex and biber is the ideal team.

I may well look into upgrading to biblatex/biber, but for now I should just jump back into my ongoing projects. >>> ... > > The source is there: > > * http://java.net/projects/looks/sources > * http://java.net/projects/forms/sources > * Common is with sources: > > http://www.jgoodies.com/download/libraries/common/jgoodies-common-1_4_0.zip I did take a look at them, but (see below) >> By convention, >> Gentoo throws all jar files away and recompiles everything from >> scratch > > Similar to debian, isn't it?

This is what they call "live ebuilds" The preferred method is to make a tag for .zip/.tgz/.bz2 and always build from that. The problem they had in the past is building off of the tip and having things periodically break. I do not know the current feeling for building off a particular revision key, but I thought that to was verboten. I may look at this some more later, but we will see what comes of it.
