Certainly (btw, I meant to write s/a lot/a long/). When we tried to replace OpenJDK-6 with OpenJDK-7 as default-java, we mostly focused on problems that would occur by OpenJDK-7 now being the JDK used for building. We mostly ignored all the packages that explicitly (build-)depended on OpenJDK-6. The todo list I used for this purpose is available at [1]. Keep in mind that it hasn't been updated for 6-8 months now (but given the freeze, I doubt there has been a lot of improvement in this area). ~Niels [1] http://titanpad.com/WciYqDGRNd -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
