----- Forwarded Message -----
> IcedTea HEAD has been updated to the tag icedtea-2.5pre02. This is likely
> to be the last update before a 2.5 branch & forest are created and we
> update to the latest upstream u60 (currently b03). A 2.5.0 release is
> expected within the next month.

> The main changes in this revision are:
> 
> * The ARM32 JIT now builds again. However, it crashes in most usage [0].
> Therefore, it is disabled by default. To enable it, pass --enable-arm32-jit
> to configure.
> * PaX support [1] has been updated so that systems using extended attributes
> to store PaX markers can now build IcedTea. Support for PaX is also now
> included in the OpenJDK forest itself, obsoleting the patches IcedTea
> was applying.
> * We also can now drop the test_gamma bootstrap patch, as the PPC port
> added a check to the test_gamma script which stops it from trying to
> run on non-HotSpot JDKs.
