Indeed. I recall that message. Thanks for the reminder / refresher. | 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you apparently | never asked the FTP masters to remove the rjava binaries on mipsel | (which is why you see an "out of date binaries" for mipsel)[1].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. I will re-enable mips and mipsel by altering the Build-Depends from default-jdk [!arm !hppa !kfreebsd-i386 !kfreebsd-amd64 !hurd-i386 !mips !mipsel], to default-jdk [!arm !hppa !kfreebsd-i386 !kfreebsd-amd64 !hurd-i386], in the next r-base upload -- possibly on the weekend as we are currently beta / rc testing the R 3.0.3 release due March 6. | 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. Will do. Thanks! Dirk | ~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. | | -- Dirk Eddelbuettel | [email protected] | http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
