I think it is the high time for JDK-1.4.2 for sparc + Linux. I work at the Technical University of Lodz, in Computer Science department, and I have to support a whole lab of Sun Blade 150 machines. No Java means that this lab will become virtually useless. I run Debian GNU/Linux there and I'm considering Gentoo GNU/Linux as well. My recent trials with upgrading to newer glibc (Debian sarge) resulted in Java 1.4.1 refusing to work at all (SIGSEGV). So, newer Java 1.4.2 is badly needed for everyone running Java on sparc under Linux. Is there anything I could do to help? Compiling, testing, you name it. I have 2+ years of experience with Gentoo (x86 and amd64 architecures), and 7+ years of experience with Java, C/C++ and other languages. My Debian experience is similar (2+ years) although not so deep as with Gentoo. Simply put Debian just works and there is not much work to support it. Typically there is only a general upgrade needed at the beginning of the semester.
