Yes. That is, there's a more up to date jdk package (with a different and to my way of thinking better organization) in hamm, and last I checked Sun wasn't releasing any java stuff for linux - the linux-java things are ported from the Sun reference implementation. This means there is always a delay beyond the normal packaging delay as a new release is first ported to Linux, and then packaged for Debian. By the way, the hamm jdk package installs and runs just fine on my all-libc5 (bo) system. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
