Sorry, I thought you were referring to the OpenJDK forest used by
IcedTea in the first e-mail:

https://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/release/icedtea7-forest-2.6/

2.6.20 was finally released yesterday - http://bitly.com/it20620 - and
so all repos should now be up to date. Hopefully the January one will be
more on time :)

Thanks for your patience,
