JabRef in Debian

This list tracks the status of JabRef packaging to Debian.
The current version at Debian is shown at https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/jabref.
Since Ubuntu is based on Debian, the JabRef version available in ubuntu (https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=jabref) is not higher.

At koppor's repository, required Debian adaptions to branches are tracked in debian_x.y branches.
