Just asking as a loongson-2f user, :-) What makes java7 not to work on those architectures? Building issues? > ... > So the architectures to drop java support would be > > kfreebsd-any, hurd-i386, mips, mipsel, s390, ia64 So, if openjdk is to be dropped on these archs, what alternative will be there for them? Are there any instructions so users can experiment and attempt building themselves? > ... > > - openjdk support for mips and mipsel is currently broken, with several > requests for help on debian-mips left unanswered. :-) I'm one who asked there some time back why java7 is no longer in the archives (unstable/experimental), while the last binaries I had installed still work OK on my mini-pc... I'm just curious, sorry for asking to the lists... I want to understand if the mini-pc is still a low performance desktop alternative with java enabled, or is no longer suited for that, :-) So your answers are very appreciated. -- Javier. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-68k-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
