Yes, the idea is that default-java remains what it always has been for us; namely the default implementation used for building (complete with the standard symlink). The "change" is to introduce a new symlink as well (next to the default-java symlink) which is an "alternative" that by default points to default-java, but can be updated. ~Niels -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJM//c1AAoJEAVLu599gGRCq9EP/1GFNqBN1Qj0Xmy/RcXm5C06 g9BBttSzNNTUdJ4B8fu/DiyPRW7cL4ssWGP49wl69FqsIfFrdA8oYnP6RXAbHTJr t5ueN6ns83/gJLZZRHdtj5AfETRPDWBOOY0PMxaQKC+jPVwsrdfvnAStVg2U8Ju3 rr2JZ1xo8beW0uPVnLuo+qrEscUvMUD3p4wAh/CTUGCliOwgzVBgrSmnqf03Hs/O wgVV05jZiRBmwtcK545vANL0zslmFKdP8H3j1RAQ0FzufO2pP3NryMCqVkyl9Nun /vYJTRnTyIlQw/sy5I39AY3ga0OhjZFfMxZjhsFpadE+io3jQ96qdIjpgyVxWuJC cwXp7KaNCh0Hv9KqcUcv5m+TpNyw7ITkBUALj1eKZKIYYwg7QpjEpP7iqWXszGt8 24Z+cMkLWQvmJXlpsURhp9VXMyQiidevdhAgKmDfks5uarYB/KHw5MjpyThxD8Fj cf/dqjB5jdHDQ6tIS3RnERjMc7ECnfrI2ewjv5Jj3EKGTB6P/eMwjjQMJ2yvkdU6 CalcmKuoVnjocbcQj6EmcucX1p636+AL0UZctxGgXZqDnhURegaf7WNxtLbaeXod nbfcVaCMgz8nE0OCxP/7gyRfg2pv4k2akYDJOLVGZrgzvPmZ7XSJPTfhIX68e7Vy ImNaXTmhefNiz86fBNuO =G0IE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
