After some discussion on IRC, I think we've concluded that it's totally OK to backport openjdk-7, since all of the packages have separate names and can't conflict with old packages.
But I agree with Matthias that it's a good idea to hold off on the backport until openjdk-7 is released, so let's re-examine this then. Once the final release is available in oneiric, the easiest way to accelerate the process is to test the backport yourself. Our requirements are fairly straightforward: we require that the package builds, installs, and starts on the release you're backporting it to. The easiest way to test this is with the backportpackage script from ubuntu-dev-tools. ** Changed in: openjdk-7 (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/807220 Title: wishlist: openjdk-7 package for natty backports To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/natty-backports/+bug/807220/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
