-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi users, developers and not-so-innocent bystanders,
effective a few days ago, we have entered a winterly package freeze for all packages maintained by the Java Team. No new Java packages will be put in the tree unless they fix serious issues or security vulnerabilities. In the coming weeks, the team will stabilize Java packages in ~arch according to de facto Gentoo stabilization criteria. After the stabilization has been completed, remaining packages in ~arch will be wiped. ~arch will then be repopulated with brand spanking new, 1.5-compliant packages. This will finally bring full 1.5 (and soon also 1.6) support to the tree for x86, amd64, ia64 and ppc. Other arches will follow as upstream 1.5 VMs show up for them. If you are an arch user, you need not worry at all. If you are using ~arch, in the worst case, you may experience that your favourite and really unstable package in ~arch gets removed temporarily during the transition. Fear not, it will be restored and possibly even upgraded. As the migration proceeds, we will present you with documentation on how this affects developers and users. Users of our experimental overlays, and any other interested parties, should join are encouraged to join [EMAIL PROTECTED] As usual, flames are received, extinguished and tracked through bugs.gentoo.org. On behalf of the Java Team, - -- Karl T -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFD66Wl9qB4XfxnYS0RAhgkAJ9kRWvewNhgInLkSq1fCmukFhJfMgCfSZNS Ea8tHH7d1h8oIN3Rf0hwntM= =ZNWS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
