[Bug 1425677] Re: Arduino IDE v. 1.6 released, can we get in repository?

[AYourk]

Building the Arduino 1.6.7+ IDE requires X windows and cannot be built via java.awt.headless=true in Makefile-test
See: https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/pull/3062/files for details.
Other limitations:  Sketchbook folder MUST be a subdir under $(BUILDDIR) (I used $(BUILDDIR)/sketchbook) and can't be $(CURDIR) in Makefile-test

I downloaded the Arduino 1.6.7 IDE source from their GitHub at http://github.com/arduino/Arduino/archive/1.6.7.zip and then extracted debian-1.6.7.zip under the extracted github source and renamed it to debian/
Please note that the contents of debian-1.6.7.zip are my crude modifications to Scott Howard's work.

Installed the following PPAs to build Arduino 1.6.7 IDE:
	ppa:openjdk-r/ppa
	ppa:maarten-fonville/ppa

The following alternatives must point to their JDK 1.8 counterparts (via update-alternatives --config):
appletviewer ControlPanel extcheck idlj jar jarsigner java javac javadoc javah javap javaws jcmd jconsole jcontrol jdb jdeps jexec jexec-binfmt jhat jinfo jjs jmap jps jrunscript jsadebugd jstack jstat jstatd keytool mozilla-javaplugin.so native2ascii orbd pack200 policytool rmic rmid rmiregistry schemagen serialver servertool tnameserv unpack200 wsgen wsimport xjc

The location /usr/lib/jvm/default-java must point to
/usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-<arch> where <arch> is the architecture
you are compiling against.  I used amd64.

I have not yet gotten it to build the package.  The following error is
as far as I get:

Error while verifying: An error occurred while verifying the sketch
