Re: Kaffe marked remove (was Release-critical Bugreport for May 9, 2003)
Hello
I think you should lower the severity of that bug. Especially if it
is not possible to exploit.
The same applies to #193263: kaffe_1:1.0.7-3(hppa/unstable): FTBFS: syntax errors
unless that is a problem for more arches than hppe.
They should both be of important severity, I think. Check that first
though.
