There are two missing patchests. One for bootstrapping java-asm, and
one that adds ant-junit to packages that needs them.
One of the problems I know of is that jeromq fails tests, I guess it might
come from
the underlying zeromq, because this seems to be only a thin wrapper.
I also had to add jdk7 to one package, I will check which one is that. It
would be nice
to fix that.
Some patches are available for review on guix-patches, tagged core-updates,
and mentioning
java. I could not react to all those yet, I had some pressure recently, I
will check those the next
week.
