[Ubuntu] Google Summer of Code, working for you

[Andreas Tille]

Hi,

I became aware about this thread thanks to Hamish posting on debian-gis
mailing list.  I tried to subscribe this mailing list at
  http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu
but did not got any response - hope my subscription worked (so please
CC me in case not).

I've done something to update mkgmap (http://bugs.debian.org/580170)
which is definitely not my package but nobody seems to care any more.
The new predepends I packaged for this (libfastutil-java) is hanging in
new&byhand[1] since one week and there is another (way harder to
package) new dependency.  It would be great if some gifted Java
developer could take over.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
