If you are willing to help with the maintenance, please contact i...@gentoo.org. If there is no interest, the removal of Java support well be done during the second half of March 2011. The removal is tracked in bug #345433.

Re: [gentoo-dev] News item: Dropping Java support on ia64 (retry)
The sentence If there is no interest, the removal of Java support well be done during the second half of March 2011. seems to have some bugs. I suppose well be done was meant to be will be done? ^ But maybe the removal [..] will be done could use re-writing, too. How about this: If there is no interest, Java support will be removed from IA64 during the second half of March 2011. Best, Sebastian

Could you also add the info to http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/staffing-needs/ ? Moreover, what does dropping support mean? Are there any packages that are not obviously java-related (i.e. not in dev-java), but will have dropped support? If you are willing to help maintaining support please contact i...@gentoo.org. If there is no interest the removal of Java support well be done during week 50 of year 2010. IMHO a date range would be more readable than a week number. signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: [gentoo-dev] News item: Dropping Java support on ia64
Any improvements to the text are welcome. I think the following could be written clearer. Reading it made me have to go off and check what week 50 was. If there is no interest the removal of Java support well be done during week 50 of year 2010. why not say 'If there is no interest the removal of Java support well be done during the week starting 13th Dec 2010. (please confirm the date on that) Regards, Petteri
