To enable packaging JabRef 4.x for Debian, much work has to be done in
packaging the build dependencies. See
https://github.com/koppor/jabref/issues/135 for a TODO list. Any help
is welcomed there.

Hi Oliver,

Thank you for your efforts to organize and scope the work.  I find it
very helpful.  Is there an easy way to PR against the TODO list?  Maybe
we could turn it into markdown and then PR against it?  An example of a
recent update is that although we have an afterburner.fx package in
Debian, it is now FTBFS until we get openjfx for Java 9 [1].  I haven't
looked at JabRef fork of afterburner yet.

And we *almost* have a pgjdbc-ng package. Which is to say, we have
something that builds correctly from source, but I still need to take
care of debian/copyright before the package can go through the NEW
process.

Cheers,
tony

What is the status of this complex issue?
Debian is at JabRef version 3.8 and upstream is at 5.*.

I understand that this seems to be a transition issue. What is missing?
