s/works well/works/ Upstream doesn't test against OpenJDK, and they close bugs without fixing them when it only affects OpenJDK and it isn't grave. I know this from one of the upstream from Cassandra, who is also a Debian developer. Because of this state of things, he gave up on packaging Cassandra in Debian (and for other reasons too, like not having enough time to work on the packaging). I trust what this Debian developer told me. If I remember correctly, it's Eric Evans <[email protected]> (ie, the author of the ITP at https://bugs.debian.org/585905) that I'm talking about.

Anyway, I'd prefer if nobody trusted me, and that this was seriously checked.

Thanks for finding out the details I was missing... :) With this kinds of problems, I don't think anyone would like to take the responsibility to upload Cassandra to either Debian or Ubuntu. At least *I* wouldn't. That being said, maybe the issue that Clint quoted is fixable. Probably the issue is that nobody really cares... (yet?)
