Hallo all,
as you might know, Oracle have announced the end of general support for jdk6 in November 2012. In order to have maintenable system, we have to follow and switch to jdk7 as well.
I have just sumbitted the java-1_7_0-openjdk to Java:openjdk6:Factory - this release is based on icedtea-2.1, openjdk b147 and should be an equivalent of Oracle Java 7 u2. There are two minor problems preventing the succesfull submit into Factory
* it has to be rebuilt using java-1_7_0-openjdk * BuildRequires: -brp-check-suse and BuildRequires: -post-build-checks are not things Factory checking team would accept
I hope I will fix them this week and submit openjdk7 to Factory soon.
The next step would be rebuild of all java packages with jdk7 and fix possible problems, but this will be a task for time, when openjdk7 will be done.
Best regards Michal Vyskocil
Michal, do you think we can enable jamvm as a vm flavor as Debian and Ubuntu did? (and AFAIK they use it as a default for arm) By the way, they seem to have a better package naming convention for that: icedtea-7-jre-jamvm (splits as a subpackage and only contains the libjvm.so) -- Duncan Mac-Vicar P. - http://www.suse.com/ SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstraße 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-java+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-java+owner@opensuse.org
