Please backport it! =)

Need update: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java

[John Dong (jdong)]

Update 7 is currently not in Edgy. We will await its packaging first.

Marking this as affecting Ubuntu's sun-java5 source package until we get a new upload.

Marking as "Needs Info" ( = waiting on Edgy) until we get an Edgy package.

jdk 5 update 7 would be nice too . . .

07 isn't yet released under the DLJ license

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

released yesterday

[John Dong (jdong)]

Re-opening backport request as Confirmed, now that we have Edgy sources.

[John Dong (jdong)]

I have compiled and tested this on several of my machines thoroughly and it works fine. I am not going to post the debs for testing because it's around 50MB, difficult to upload.

[John Dong (jdong)]

Subscribed ubuntu-archive, ready to backport.

[Matthias Klose (doko)]

please don't move to backports, should go to dapper-updates.

[John Dong (jdong)]

Very well, Matthias, thanks for taking care of this issue. I wasn't sure if it was going to be dapper-updates or not.

[Manos Vasiliadis (idioteque)]

This one is marked as "fix released", but I cannot find it in any repository. Why?

[John Dong (jdong)]

The portion of this bug that affects Ubuntu is marked as "fixed released" because Edgy Eft now has this version.

Matthias has requested that we do not handle this through Backports but rather dapper-updates, which is why Backports is not handling this right now.
