Per, note that the “suggested description” that Carlo refers to above is the canonical description that GNU has for Kawa: http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/*checkout*/womb/gnumaint/rec/pkgblurbs.rec We should change it if it doesn’t match the way you would present Kawa. Let us know what you think! Thanks, Ludo’.

I think we should instead move Kawa to java.scm. WDYT? Anyway let’s also wait for Per’s reply. Thanks, Ludo’.

Hello Carlo, I realized we had been blocking this patch for too long for no good reason, so I pushed a variant thereof as 47f2168b6fabb105565526b2a1243eeeb13008fe. Thanks, Ludo’.
