Launchpad seems to timeout... Have you noticed a common FTBFS pattern for all this packages ? Or all failure seems differents ? > Is anyone in the team making Java 7 transition plans for Debian?

I'm using openjdk-7 on daily basis without any problem (desktop and development env.) but I haven't yet do any load testing on production applications so I cannot provide real(tm) feedback. > My current 'feel' is that there is a lot of work to make this transition > happen (and for Ubuntu this would need to be completed by early Feb 2012 > due to release milestones associated with new features). Yes, fixing 100+ FTBFS is a huge work and spare time of contributors is scarce... For example, there is still 26 unfixed RC bugs for Debian Java Team (not counting Java packages not under team control...). Cheers, -- Damien
