Bug#732282: stop building java for sparc, sparc64, s390, kfreebsd-any
Package: java-common
Version: 0.50
Severity: serious
Tags: jessie, sid
openjdk-7 currently ftbfs on sparc, sparc64, s390, kfreebsd-any. So please
either remove the default-* packages on these archs, or fall back to gcj.
- the hotspot port for linux sparc isn't maintained anymore
by upstream. If a porter is interested, maybe investigate
how to build the zero vm on these architectures.
- s390 needs an update of the s390 debian specific patch. Not
working on this myself.
- the debian kfreebsd patches need an update. I don't think
it's feasible to burden the openjdk maintainers or the
security team with patch maintenance. I understand that
the bsd support is found upstream in openjdk-8, so maybe
try that again for the next upstream version.
