I'm wondering this as well, plus have my own question. This seems as |
| 9 |
good a place as any to ask, as it's Java related. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
For the obvious (given my sig) reasons, I'm not interested in binary blob |
| 12 |
Java, non-negotiable. The license has changed and I recently saw -bin |
| 13 |
versions of at least some Java related stuff being pulled from the tree |
| 14 |
in favor of standard from-source versions. I'm happy! =8^) |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
Question is, it from-source Java ready for the "occasional" user, mainly |
| 17 |
browser oriented, and what choices do I have if so? If it's not ready, |
| 18 |
no pressure here (I'm really more interested in KDE 4, but Java would be |
| 19 |
nice too =8^), but just wondering what the time frame is so I can have in |
| 20 |
mind when to get interested. By chance seeing those packages switch is |
| 21 |
what triggered the question, but I've no clue if they have anything to do |
| 22 |
with core or not or pretty much on anything else Java related, so I'm |
| 23 |
asking. =8^) |
