1 Hello
2
3 I would like to see if we could finally try to stabilize java7 on Gentoo
4 as some external tools start to require it.

6 There is currently this tracker opened:
7 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384609

9 I am unsure why:
10 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=483018
11
12 should block the stabilization as we can have multiple java versions
13 installed due slots
14
15 The tracker list two broken packages that would need either patching or
16 to be forced to use older slots and this one:
17 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=515830
18
19 That looks more important. Then, I also wonder about what
20 implementations are we meant to look for this stabilization. Should we
21 look for bugs affecting icedtea-bin and also oracle's implementation? (I
22 was wondering if the tracker was really collecting all the issues :/)
23
24 Thanks
