This is somewhat complicated by the fact that on kfreebsd we still don't have openjdk, so we're using GCJ/GIJ, which is really a 1.5 implementation.
If GCJ/GIJ can run 1.6 bytecode then absolutely this check should be 1.6 and you can ignore the rest of this mail. If it cannot, then it's more complicated, since we do have libraries and programs which actually just can't run on freebsd, since the do require 1.6, so there's no reason those should use 1.5 bytecode. OTOH, anything that can use 1.5 _should_ use 1.5, particularly if it's a program that depends on default-jdk, since that's GCJ/GIJ on kfreebsd. This is further complicated by the fact that library packages don't depend on the runtime. A bullet-proof solution might look like: (depends: default-jdk && <= 5) || (depends: openjdk-6 && <= 6) || (is library && <= 6) but maybe we don't care that much? Matt
