For that reason I didn't bother porting gcc-java to x86_64 after seeing that work would be required to do so. The one package in the distro which still required GCJ -- namely, pdftk -- actually has licensing issues: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/legal/2011-June/001656.html https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2014-March/196371.html With the recent addition of qpdf for both arches (thanks, Marco!), I would like to remove pdftk from the distro, and gcc-java from gcc in the next build. Any objections? -- Yaakov Selkowitz
