Hi Andrew,
I find this design decision very odd, exactly for the reasons you
mentioned. Java 7 is, to my knowledge, far from universally supported. I
would have waited for at least another release or two before phasing out
Java 6.
We did think about it, but OpenJDK 6 is going to be EOL'd this year, with
a complete cessation of updates.
Andrew.
I can understand you wish to compile everything using OpenJDK7, but why
don't keep OpenJDK6 on the repos as an option, just like you did with
java-1.5.0-gcj ?
Can I --force installing OpenJDK6 packages from F16 on F17? Won't this
mess up with OpenJDK7?
[]s, Fernando Lozano
