Hi Andrey Petushkov, Glad to hear that! Could you tell what is the current status of your mips32 port? I have tried to "put the code into the repos" for some time. It is really a hard work and may take a long time. If Azul and Loongson want to use the same repo, I think we should start early. I am afraid it would be hard work to put our codes into one repo after we develop our own repos for years. I cannot say when our code can be accepted by upstream, but I think It won't happen soon. Before that, a repo somewhere outside OpenJDK may be a choice. > Regards, > Andrey > > > > /Magnus > >
