Ok.

If I have time before you do, I can certainly look into this.

Thanks,
Iain.

Ok, cool.

Awesome! While I don't currently have that much time available, it's
possible that time will become available later in the year.

Thanks,
Iain.

I've started on updating checkstyle to 8.8.  Thus far, it looks like
we'll need to update libsaxonhe-java from 9.7 -> 9.8 in order to have
ArrayIterator.OfNodes [0].  Either that, or we'll have to patch around
it.

If you're interested in helping things along, an updated saxonhe is next
on the list.

Cheers,
tony

Hello Iain, hi Markus,

The stretch release was in a freeze at the time of that upload to
experimental, so it's just a miss on my part that I didn't subsequently
upload to unstable after the release.  Thank you for the ping.

I am currenlty building the r-deps with ratt and assuming all looks
good, will upload 7.5 to unstable today.  However, I echo Markus's
comment about a constant need for developers on the Java team.  Please
feel free to contribute.

Cheers,
tony

Generally speaking, yes we need help with maintaining Java stuff. We are
very few active members at the moment. If a package is outdated it is
mostly due to lack of manpower. I don't know why checkstyle in
experimental was not uploaded to unstable but if the new release doesn't
break any reverse-dependencies we could upload it to unstable.

Regards,

Markus
