Hi, You and I came to the conclusion to disable OpenJDK on mipsel on the 18th of November (see #727805#42). At that time, OpenJDK-7 failed to build on mipsel and we wanted to remove OpenJDK-6. Then a month later, Adrian follows up in #727805#52 saying that "they" are working on OpenJDK-7 for mips and mipsel. You asked to be kept in the loop (comment 62) and Adrian mails the bug on the 4th of Jan saying: """openjdk-7 is now available on both mips and mipsel.""" So you apparently have openjdk-7-jdk that you can depend on mips and mipsel now, but you didn't in October. Despite having removed Java support in rjava/0.9-6-1, you apparently never asked the FTP masters to remove the rjava binaries on mipsel (which is why you see an "out of date binaries" for mipsel)[1]. As I see it, you can solve this in two ways; file the request and get the binary removed /or/ re-enable java support on mipsel now that OpenJDK-7 is available and have rjava compile there on mipsel. My guess is that the mipsel porters will prefer that you did the latter and personally I do not care which one you pick[2]. AFAICT re-adding mipsel relies entirely on you whereas completing the mipsel removal requires you to file a bug against the FTP masters and then waiting for them to process it. If you want rjava back in testing, re-adding mipsel just might be the fastest option. ~Niels [1] I mentioned this would be needed in comment 5 (and again in comment 32) of #727805 if you removed mipsel support. [2] With rJava not being in testing, it is not blocking the removal of OpenJDK-6 (from testing) any longer, so it is no longer a priority for me. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
