Hi users, developers and not-so-innocent bystanders, |
5 |
|
6 |
|
7 |
effective a few days ago, we have entered a winterly package freeze for |
8 |
all packages maintained by the Java Team. No new Java packages will be |
9 |
put in the tree unless they fix serious issues or security vulnerabilities. |
10 |
|
11 |
In the coming weeks, the team will stabilize Java packages in ~arch |
12 |
according to de facto Gentoo stabilization criteria. After the |
13 |
stabilization has been completed, remaining packages in ~arch will be wiped. |
14 |
|
15 |
~arch will then be repopulated with brand spanking new, 1.5-compliant |
16 |
packages. This will finally bring full 1.5 (and soon also 1.6) support |
17 |
to the tree for x86, amd64, ia64 and ppc. Other arches will follow as |
18 |
upstream 1.5 VMs show up for them. |
19 |
|
20 |
|
21 |
If you are an arch user, you need not worry at all. |
22 |
|
23 |
|
24 |
If you are using ~arch, in the worst case, you may experience that your |
25 |
favourite and really unstable package in ~arch gets removed temporarily |
26 |
during the transition. Fear not, it will be restored and possibly even |
27 |
upgraded. |
28 |
|
29 |
As the migration proceeds, we will present you with documentation on how |
30 |
this affects developers and users. |
31 |
|
32 |
Users of our experimental overlays, and any other interested parties, |
33 |
should join are encouraged to join gentoo-java@l.g.o. |
34 |
|
35 |
|
36 |
As usual, flames are received, extinguished and tracked through |
37 |
bugs.gentoo.org. |
38 |
|
39 |
|
40 |
On behalf of the Java Team, |
41 |
|
42 |
