Split devel and a "backports" project

Hallo, I've got a request from Frank to add CentOS, Mandriva and openSUSE 11.4 into Java:packages. I personally do not like this idea - J:p is intended to be a devel project for Factory. On the other hand, there might be someone will be interested and will take a care. And I don't want to block our community from that. So I am thinking about following concept 1.) create new Java:Factory project -> this will be the devel project for Factory, so only openSUSE_Factory repository will be added 2.) make project link [1] from Java:Factory - Java:???. In this project more targets can be enabled and it can have more maintainers taking a care about such distributions. 3.) the changes in Java:??? will be submitted back to :Factory. If not, then :??? project won't be synced with :Factory. This is a responsibility of those will do the change. I'm waiting on a comments, especially some nice name instead of ???, which is probably not allowed in OBS ;-) [1] http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_Concept_project_linking Regards Michal Vyskocil

Hi Hans, I've finished a bootstrapping of openjdk6 for 12.3. Package has been submitted to Java:openjdk6:Factory and will be built in few hours (hopefully). As usual, there are no plans to add it back to openSUSE. In fact we are looking forward to add openjdk8 and drop openjdk7 from repo-oss as soon as possible/reasonable. Regards Michal Vyskocil
