Hi, (With my Java hat on and my Release hat off) We are getting close to being able to remove openjdk-6 from sid and testing. However, there is major blocker, which is java-common itself (and its default-* binaries). mips and mipsel are the only two architectures still using OpenJDK 6 as default java. At the current time, OpenJDK 7 have not been successfully ported on these architectures and it is my understanding that it is unlikely to change in the near future. This leaves gcj-jdk as the only viable option for mips and mipsel. I intend to implement these changes in java-common in about 14 days, unless there are alternative solutions (that does not involve keeping openjdk-6 around). ~Niels
