Just asking as a loongson-2f user, :-)
What makes java7 not to work on those architectures? Building issues?

So, if openjdk is to be dropped on these archs, what alternative will
be there for them? Are there any instructions so users can experiment
and attempt building themselves?

:-) I'm one who asked there some time back why java7 is no longer in
the archives (unstable/experimental), while the last binaries I had
installed still work OK on my mini-pc...
I'm just curious, sorry for asking to the lists... I want to
understand if the mini-pc is still a low performance desktop
alternative with java enabled, or is no longer suited for that, :-)
So your answers are very appreciated.
