I don't recall a discussion. Anyway, I want to see a -2 first, to see if it can actually be auto-built on all release architectures, and what the timings are. A security update for the OpenJDK 6 source base will require more than 60 hours of armel build time, and more than two weeks[1] on sparc for openjdk-6 alone (don't know cocoa-oj6 yet). Anything longer than half a day is very difficult for us. [1] Estimate based on a built time of 205 hours on lebrun, which has got a 750 MHz CPU. spontini is a U60, which is probably only half as fast. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
