Hi, I am the maintainer of the logol package, impacted by gridengine removal.
In fact logol depends (though not mandatory at usage, only highly recommended) on drmaa-java, drmaa is a API ofr cluster computing system (gridengine, torque, ...). The one available on Debian seems to be gridengine only, but a drmaa virtual package could exists that would match any implementation (provides: drmaa). Anyway, I have no specific gridengine dependency, only drmaa. gridengine was the only Java implementation in Debian. The problem of the removal will be the compilation. Logol can work without gridengine (a local mode exists), but library is needed for compilation as usage is available in code. I gonna patch the code to use a fake lib implementation waiting for gridengine being back to avoid being removed. Olivier
