Re: RFP: jrockit -- A virtual machine for Java
No, it can't be built from sources. The .deb would have to build upon
the binaries shipped by BEA.
JRockit currently runs on ia32 and ia64.
Even with these limitations, I don't really see how Debian would be
worse off with having JRockit in non-free than without it. Although I
*can* see how you (as a PowerPC user) wouldn't be interested in doing
the packaging :-).

I just filed an RFP (bug 273693) for BEA's JRockit. JRockit is a
non-free virtual machine for Java that fully implements everything
that
SUN's VM does. In addition it out-performs both SUN and IBM on many
real-world workloads.
Even if JRockit is not open source, can we build it from sources?
If not, I strongly discourage to package it and put it in the official
archive.
Also, which arches JRockit can run on? If it's only x86, you can not
count on me ;-) Let's make a good ppc JVM and I'll reconsider my
position ;-)
Many thanks for your proposal but I'm not sure it's a good idea...
Cheers,
