If you want feedback, it might be a good idea to start for help. I am not really happy with all the decision that have been taken with openjdk on mips. For example, you asked us to check why openjdk-8 didn't build with gcc-5. James Cowgill provided a patch [1] and a few days later I confirmed that it was working fine [2]. Still the changelog from version 8u72-b05-6 mentions an "untested patch" [3]. Later version 8u72-b15-1 simply removed the patch, which caused the package to FTBFS on mips* [4]. Instead of asking for help, where we would have pointed you to the issue, you decided to simply drop jamvm on mips. This is clearly the wrong way to fix the issue. > [...] > checking for nawk... /usr/bin/nawk > checking for cygpath... no > checking for readlink... /bin/readlink > checking for df... /bin/df > checking for SetFile... no > checking build system type... ../src/common/autoconf/build-aux/config.guess: > unable to guess system type The problem can simply be explained by the diff between the two last versions: diff -u openjdk-8-8u72-b15/debian/control openjdk-8-8u72-b15/debian/control --- openjdk-8-8u72-b15/debian/control +++ openjdk-8-8u72-b15/debian/control @@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 5), quilt, m4, lsb-release, zip, unzip, sharutils, gawk, cpio, pkg-config, procps, time, wdiff, fastjar (>= 2:0.96-0ubuntu2), autoconf, automake, autotools-dev, ant, ant-optional, libtool, - g++-5, g++-4.9 [mips mipsel mips64 mips64el], + g++-5, openjdk-8-jdk | openjdk-7-jdk, libxtst-dev, libxi-dev, libxt-dev, libxaw7-dev, libxrender-dev, libcups2-dev, libasound2-dev, liblcms2-dev, libfreetype6-dev (>= 2.2.1), libgtk2.0-dev, libxinerama-dev, libkrb5-dev, xsltproc, libpcsclite-dev, libffi-dev, You have dropped the build-depends on g++-4.9, still debian/rules but it is still the version forced in debian/rules. Removing the version force in debian/rules fixes the issue.
