I want to postpone my suggestion since there is some recent activity on building openjdk on mips and because there was no consensus on that during Debconf. > - Keep gcj on mips but don't use it actively for building packages on > this platform. > - Remove *-jni and *-gcj packages on mips. On the other hand there was some consenus that we want some Java 6 like platform as default-jdk and no longer the incomplete Java 5 platform provided by gcj. That is why I want to suggest to - Remove *-gcj packages on all architectures except for a minimal set of *-gcj packages that are needed to bootstrap openjdk. I wonder why ant-gcj is not a Build-Depends of openjdk. > - Get icedtea-7-jre-jamvm built on kfreebsd-*. BTW is there any progress on building openjdk on kfreebsd?
