Comment:

 Replying to [comment:2 iwakeh]:
 > There were quite a few things not working due to the README not being
 up-to-date before the jessie related changes.

 Agreed.  I didn't attempt to fix all remaining issues, which is a small
 project in itself, I just wanted to fix the most obvious shortcomings.

 > I attached a patch for the things I could find w/o setting up an entire
 metrics-web.

 Cool!  I added that patch to my branch and made a few tweaks on top of it.
 Mind taking another look?

 > I could not identify the source for the `standard-1.1.2.jar`

 I wrote Debian stable package names next to .jar files, also as a note to
 myself when I need to find out in a year from now.  Please shout if any of
 these packages look like strange choices to you.

 > The commands needing root privileges now all are run via sudo.
 > Please check carefully.

 Looks good!

 > All java projects should be on the same java version (7 or 8?), and need
 some modernization.
 > New issue(s)?

 Yes, new issue, I'd say.  And should we start the Java 8 update with
 metrics-lib, or does that not really matter?

 Thanks!
