(The use case is to get OpenJDK with the > Shark JIT compiler [llvm-based] to run on the bug20 hardware). My first question: Has anyone tested it in an OE build yet? My second question: When is all that openjdk stuff you keep talking about ending up in OE? I know Henning keeps handwaving about it not being ready, but after after waiting a year, is it ever going to be deemed ready by the jalimo crew? Just merge it into OE now :) regards, Koen -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) iD8DBQFMGI6OMkyGM64RGpERAo3pAJ9teoUUA6zsD9FCkDJvUYzRuABoOwCeJVZK 15hwXUxr+DzZeiRqQ/T5Li0= =xuWK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
