 Hi,
 
 the architecture status page for Wheezy[1] mentioned that it would be
 the last release if s390x comes in.  As Wheezy was release with the
 s390x support, should we now look at removing s390 from both jessie and sid?
 

That was indeed the plan, and I think the s390x release of Wheezy
actually reached the goal of being able to replace s390. Unless someone
comes with very good arguments in the next days, I think it's the way to
go.

That said it would be good to get the feedback from other people
involved in the s390 port first though.

Re: changing the java default to java7, and dropping java support for some architectures

Just asking as a loongson-2f user, :-)

What makes java7 not to work on those architectures?  Building issues?

 ...
 So the architectures to drop java support would be

   kfreebsd-any, hurd-i386, mips, mipsel, s390, ia64

So, if openjdk is to be dropped on these archs, what alternative will
be there for them?  Are there any instructions so users can experiment
and attempt building themselves?

 ...

 - openjdk support for mips and mipsel is currently broken, with several
   requests for help on debian-mips left unanswered.

:-)  I'm one who asked there some time back why java7 is no longer in
the archives (unstable/experimental), while the last binaries I had
installed still work OK on my mini-pc...

I'm just curious, sorry for asking to the lists...  I want to
understand if the mini-pc is still a low performance desktop
alternative with java enabled, or is no longer suited for that, :-)
So your answers are very appreciated.
