From 515d298bf24ba74051e63721fd96c260528f068c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Le Cuirot Date: Sun, 24 Apr 2016 10:55:48 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] profiles: Mask icedtea-bin:7 on arm, at least for now The ARM32 JIT code is broken as of 7.2.6.6. Without this, Java 7 is no faster than Java 8. Earlier versions have vulnerabilities so either switch to icedtea-bin:8 or build icedtea:7 from source. --- profiles/arch/arm/armv7a/package.mask | 6 ++++++ 1 file changed, 6 insertions(+) diff --git a/profiles/arch/arm/armv7a/package.mask b/profiles/arch/arm/armv7a/package.mask index 56e83609e5dd..8686f2f66dc1 100644 --- a/profiles/arch/arm/armv7a/package.mask +++ b/profiles/arch/arm/armv7a/package.mask @@ -7,6 +7,12 @@ -dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin -dev-java/oracle-jre-bin +# James Le Cuirot (24 Apr 2016) +# The ARM32 JIT code is broken as of 7.2.6.6.
