The problem with the default-jdk is that most architectures have openjdk as default. Some packages however don't build with default-jdk != openjdk. One of them on top of my head is jffi without openjdk-6 [0] with [1]. openjdk is allready default jdk for all main architecture except hppa, kfreebsd-* and recently mips. All of them don't have openjdk-6 built. openjdk-6 as it does not have architecture specific code but it might trigger bugs in different areas. I guess that why it no longer builds on mips. The problem with packages like default-jdk is that they pull in different packages on different systems leading to different behaviors and bugs. I don't like it :) [0] http://buildd.debian-ports.org/fetch.php?&pkg=jffi&ver=1.0.2-6&arch=powerpcspe&stamp=1281015166&file=log&as=raw [1] http://buildd.debian-ports.org/fetch.php?&pkg=jffi&ver=1.0.2-6&arch=powerpcspe&stamp=1282286285&file=log&as=raw >~Niels Sebastian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
