I was just wondering if anybody on this list has their ears near the blackdown JDK porters for PPC. PPC never had a 1.3.1 release, and searching on debian-java and linuxppc-user & dev doesn't seem to reveal any JDK related traffic in many moons. Anybody here happen to know if the porting effort is still alive? Heads down and working on 1.4, or what?
Yeah, their latest release appears to be 1.3.0 [FCS & b2], and 1.3.1 seems to be only for 'i386' and 'arm': http://www.blackdown.org/java-linux/ports.html [stale] http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/JDK-1.3.0/ppc PowerPC is in their latest JDK1.2, e.g. 1.2.2 [FCS & rc4]: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/JDK-1.2.2/ppc Is someone at least going to debianize JDK1.3.0 or JDK1.2.2 for PowerPC (perhaps putting the result on 'blackdown.org' and its mirrors if it's not suitable for 'debian.org')? http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/debian/dists/ I'm really hoping to retire my Intel box from active duty, and one obstacle is lack of cleanliness here. -- Tovar
