Hi gang, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
we're freezing the Java package set in the Portage tree, effective |
| 4 |
immediately. This means that no new Java packages will go into the tree |
| 5 |
unless they fix security issues. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
This is done to "flush our pipeline" before the upcoming 1.5 migration. |
| 8 |
During the freeze, we intent do stabilize as many of the unstable |
| 9 |
(~arch) packages as necessary, and wipe the rest. |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
This will allow us to move a new generation of 1.5-aware packages into |
| 12 |
~arch, and this will finally lead to complete support for 1.3, 1.4 and |
| 13 |
1.5 (plus 1.6 when it's released) on Gentoo. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
It is difficult to predict exactly how long the freeze will last, but |
| 16 |
expect at least six weeks. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Further information will be available on how to help test the 1.5 |
| 19 |
migration overlay. Broader testing helps us get through this as quickly |
| 20 |
and painlessly as possible. |

Cheers, |
