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 |
