Thanks, you're welcome.

There is an exclamation mark (rendered as “not” by the PTS).

And the “previously unknown” architectures, like arm64 armhf
avr32 m68k, etc. are not in the list but there is an exclamation
mark.

The above.

What you have right now is:
	[ ! hppa hurd-i386 kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386 mips mipsel s390x]

The total list of Debian architectures, ignoring mint-m68k and the NetBSD
port for now, is (taken from my repository scripts):

alpha amd64 arm arm64 armel armhf avr32 hppa hurd-i386 i386 ia64
kfreebsd-amd64 kfreebsd-i386 m68k mips mipsel powerpc powerpcspe
ppc64 s390 s390x sh4 sparc sparc64

So, your negative-list is equivalent to:
	[ alpha amd64 arm arm64 armel armhf avr32 i386 ia64 m68k
	  powerpc powerpcspe ppc64 s390 sh4 sparc sparc64 ]

But that list contains architectures which have no OpenJDK, so it’s
better to look at the PTS which do:

http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=openjdk-6-jdk
     * [43]sid (unstable) (java): OpenJDK Development Kit (JDK)
       6b24-1.11.5-1: alpha amd64 armel armhf i386 ia64 mips mipsel powerpc s390 s390x sparc
       6b24-1.11.1-3 [[44]debports]: sh4
       6b24~pre2-1 [[45]debports]: powerpcspe

That makes for:
	[ alpha amd64 armel armhf i386 ia64 mips mipsel
	  powerpc powerpcspe s390 s390x sh4 sparc ]

Which is the list I suggested. Of course, it will need adjustment
from time to time, but the other one did too, and this way around,
it’s easier for new architectures (or old ones being revived ;-)
to jump in, as they do not require a change. Only when OpenJDK 6
becomes usable on an architecture, *and* the port maintainers want
people to use it, it needs to be changed. (Maybe powerpcspe will
not, at the moment, maybe they will…)

I hope this makes it clearer?

Thanks,

I want one of these. They cost 720 € though… good they don’t have the HD hole,
which indicates 3½″ floppies with double capacity… still. A tad too much, atm.
