Correct, none of the 7u21 fixes are in 7u3. I believe the plan is to add 7u21 to wheezy because Oracle doesn't release fine-grained fixes, but I'm not sure when that will happen. It should be possible for you to install openjdk-7 from jessie on wheezy though, since they haven't diverged much yet. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise http://bonedaddy.net/pabs3/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-java-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
