Hi I would to have eclipse from stable removed. The particular version of eclipse in stable does not work with xulrunner 1.9 (or higher). The incompatibility cannot be fixed with a binNMU and is not trivially patchable. This is especially true for xulrunner in backports (1.9.1) which broke compatibility with xulrunner 1.9. Backporting a newer version of eclipse is at the current time not an option: - 3.4.1 is not release ready (and does not work with xulrunner 1.9.1). - 3.5.2 would require backporting 11+ depedencies[1]. While there has been reports of workarounds, I am not confident that we will be able to build a new eclipse for stable with them within a resonable time frame[2]. Thank you in advance, ~Niels [1] Not to mentioned that this is not even in unstable yet. We expect to upload it later this week. [2] The 3.2.2 and 3.4.1 versions of eclipse use a different building method than 3.5.2. A method none of us have any experience with. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
