did I upgrade to squeeze properly?
Dear Debianists, I upgraded to Squeeze recently. My sources file looks like this: spc1-burn4-0-0-cust452:/etc/apt# more sources.list # # deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Etch_ - Official Beta amd64 DVD Binary-1 20070317-22:49]/ etch contrib main #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux testing _Etch_ - Official Beta amd64 DVD Binary-1 2 0070317-22:49]/ etch contrib main deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ testing main contrib non-free #deb-src http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non free #deb http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib #deb-src http://security.debian.org/ squeeze/updates main contrib #deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ lenny main #deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib spc1-burn4-0-0-cust452:/etc/apt# Is it OK to have the deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/ squeeze main contrib non-free address and the deb http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/testing main contrib non-free repository address (or whatever it is called) in their together or should only one of them be in there e.g. the testing one? Do they work together in a complementary fashion or could they poison one another because the deb files in there could be a little different and it would screw things up? Regards Michael Fothergill

Testing will ever be testing. This is the pointer for the upcoming stable release, which is currently in testing. Keeping the testing line enables you always use the future debian version. If you want to switch to squeeze und and use squeeze then, after it will beome stable, then use the squeeze line. Regards.

OpenJDK Cacao GCJ Java defaults in unstable
Hi,
openjdk-6 in unstable is updated to the 6b14 code drop, built from a recent
IcedTea snapshot. There are a few regressions in the ports which don't use the
hotspot VM, but the Zero VM. Help from porters would be appreciated.
There are two new binary packages offering additional JVMs:
- openjdk-6-jre-zero: built on amd64 and i386. This is the JVM used by
default on the non-hotspot archs (armel, alpha, s390, mips, mipsel,
powerpc, m68k?). Maybe useful for debugging issues with the zero JVM on
archs which are more accessible.
- icedtea-6-jre-cacao: built on alpha, armel, mips, mipsel, s390, i386,
amd64, powerpc). The Cacao JVM and JIT is not yet feature complete
compared to the hotspot JVM, but is much faster than the Zero JVM
and offers an alternative on platforms which don't have the Hotspot
JVM.
The additional JVM's can be called with
java [-cacao|-zero]
or for the java tools with
tool name [-J-cacao|-J-zero]
This is currently a Debian/Ubuntu only option; integration into IcedTea is in
progress.
To make a JVM the default, make it the first one in /etc/java-6-openjdk/jvm.cfg.
GCJ is still the work horse to build and bootstrap OpenJDK. IMO it still does
make sense to keep the '-gcj' packages for software which is known to work with
GCJ. I plan to have a recent GCJ-4.x release for the next Debian release.
Once openjdk-6 moves to testing, I propose to change the default in the
default-{jre,jdk} packages to point to the openjdk-6 packages. This works well,
except for one thing: packages will be built with -source 1.6 by default, which
makes the resulting .class/.jar files unusable with older java versions (1.4 and
1.5). I would like to propose a change in the Debian java policy, that java
packages must be built for the version which is sufficient for a sucessful
build. The changes are trivial; I already did check in changes for ant and ant
build- and runtime dependencies into the debian-java svn.
There is currently work-in-progress to extend the Zero JVM with a JIT (called
shark). This is still experimental work, currently requires llvm-2.4 (unstable
has 2.5). I would welcome feedback from port maintainers about zero/shark.
Please consider to join the IcedTea mailing list.
Matthias
PS: I would appreciate some help with openjdk in Debian; the current maintainer
team is MIA or inactive.
