Hi everyone, I've cloned Emmanuel's repository and worked with it on Wheezy (amd64). Results so far:
* I've updated the build system to work with the newest upstream version (jdk8u29-b18). Refreshing the patches was fairly straightforward, but I'd be great if someone with more knowledge of OpenJDK internals could review them. * g++-4.9 was a hardcoded build dependency, but is not available on stable. I could build the package with g++-4.7 from Wheezy, so I've changed the dependency to g++ >= 4.7. * The package builds successfully if (and only if) "nostrip" is set in DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS. I haven't done extensive tests yet, but the result looks good so far. I have not tried building or running alternative JVMs. * I filed bug #751873, which was promptly fixed (many thanks to the QA team!), so we can now use http://qa.debian.org/cgi-bin/fakeupstream.cgi to get the latest upstream sources. * I've also changed the top directory in the archive created by debian/orig-tar.sh to match the package name. That avoids some confusion, because for me the sources initially didn't show up where they should have.
