Phew - that indicates I am not totally off interpreting your intend with the packaging :-) @Sylvestre: Since posting last mail I realized that it might be misread as challenging the "why" - I only challenge the "how": I disagree with your suggestion on tracking default-jdk as you suggest as *how*, but not the *why* in the subject - "Please stop using openjdk-6-*" (and most likely would not get very far if challenging that ;-) ). I have put into place mechanisms to track closely the architectures covered by each flavor of OpenJDK, so should be able to do a swift update when openjdk-6 is actually dropped. I am hesitating drop it early, though, as that would OpenJDK support to be dropped completely on MIPS architectures, something dearly hope will be solved before that transition occurs. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
