My suggestion would be to talk with upstream of those projects. My main concern into jai-core was for dcm4chee and they are providing also Debian packages on their side: http://cdmedicpacsweb.sourceforge.net/CDMEDIC_PACS_WEB.html Perhaps it makes sense to talk to these people. I'd prefer if some Java knowledged person would do the first steps (and also CC debian-med list) but if there is no volunteer I might start the initial contact which I would like to be backed up by some Java adicted people if it comes to technical details. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org
