I have been installed Blackdown 1.4.1.
But when will 1.4.2 be available for installation ?
Many thanks

The latest Sun SPARC versions of the Java RE are only for Solaris. Sun seems particularly disinterested in supporting (or releasing) a GNU/Linux-SPARC version of any JRE release (according to the rumour mills). Hence, Blackdown is the only game in town for JRE on GNU/Linux-SPARC...
looks like we'll just have to keep waiting.  |
