As mentioned below - the debian arm java situation is currently not good. We would very much welcome any java types who could help us fix and/or understand the problems in various java packages. Do please spend a bit of time this weekend if you can on #debian-arm or #debian-bugs or pick a bug and have a prod.
This page is used to coordinate notes on problems. That has a few java issues: http://wiki.debian.org/ArmBuilddWatch More can be deduced from this list: http://buildd.debian.org/~jeroen/status/architecture.php?a=arm&priority=out-of-date thanx ----- Forwarded message from Riku Voipio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- From: Riku Voipio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2006 00:58:32 +0300 To: debian-arm@lists.debian.org Cc: debian-embedded@lists.debian.org Subject: debian-arm bug squashing party 13.10-15.10.2006 User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.11+cvs20060126 List-Id: <debian-arm.lists.debian.org> Hi, Despite all the insanity going over voting in Debian, we are still committed on Etch release in december. Currently the arm port has trouble keeping up[1] with the rest of ports. We have a list of packages failing to build on arm[2], mostly at the maybe-failed section. Most of the issues are not arm-specific, or might just be temporary problems because some build-dep hasn't compiled yet. But we have lots of real issues waiting for fixing as well. Therefor, we have decided to gather 13.10.2006-15.10.2006 on #debian-arm at irc.debian.org, ie the next weekend. This is at the same time as the munchen BSP[3], so you migh consider hanging out at #debian-bugs and following the normal BSP guidelines[4], to avoid overlapping bugfixing efforts. Don't let the guidelines and Debian jargon scare you - we'll help you getting started. Even arm hardware is no longer strictly necessary[5]. Other issues: Arm debian-installer port is maintained by Martin Michlmayr, who would appreceate help in that area. The java situation on Arm is a mess. The most prominent bug 390966 [6] seems to be just worked around by gcj maintainers, but the real cause and if it affects other tools is not known..
