Can we not just blacklist 1.7.1 as suggested in the bug? Personally, you may not want to move to 1.7.0 but forcing 1.8 is going to be difficult as it's not yet in enough distros. That said, by the time this filters through to OpenJDK6, it may be.

Ant 1.8 needs to be packaged and available as a dependency. As I said, the issue may be moot by the time this filters through to something actually being packaged though. For OpenJDK6, I think it should wait until after the next build drop (b19) and go in b20. > Sorry about this disturbance, but this seems like the best course. > > -kto > -- Andrew :-) Free Java Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc.
