I intend to orphan the JRuby package and some of the dependencies I don't believe anything else uses. It's a piece of software upstream really doesn't intend to be packaged, and bumping to new versions is a constant struggle. Furthermore, I don't have anymore use for it. Here is the list of packages I'll orphan sometime in the next week or so:

• bytelist
• constantine
• jcodings
• jline
• jna-posix
• joni
• jvyamlb

Hello! I'm sorry to come in three and a half months after the fact (does that mean that they'll all have to be re-reviewed? :( ), but jruby is a dependency of some Java stuff that I'm currently working on so I'd like to take over these packages.

They're all orphaned in pkgdb. I'm not sure what process you'll need to go through to take them over (at the least, you'll probably have to talk to rel- eng to get the dead.package's removed).
