ic, well in that case, i guess it can be done like this, but if there's no maintainer for it... personally, i have no problem with this being dropped. which is not to say i'm trying to hurt people who use it... but if we can't maintain a package, maybe it's better if the people who want to use it, can get it from upstream themselves. and since this is from oracle, i guess the maintainer should also doublecheck licensing to be on the safe side, since oracle has relicensed quite some code. who knows, maybe we can't even redistribute it anymore...
