Description Lorenzo Salvadore freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2023-02-20 10:41:45 UTC 
lang/gcc-ecj45 is unsupported upstream and thus I would like to deprecate it. math/scilab is the only port that needs it: is it possible to replace the dependency on lang/gcc-ecj45 with a dependency on java/eclipse-ecj?

^Triage: Assign to maintainer and set maintainer-feedback flag to '?'.

Done. I've had no idea about different ecj.
Comment 4 Gerald Pfeifer freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2023-02-23 13:28:10 UTC 
It would be good to update java/eclipse-ecj. 

lang/gcc-ecj45 provides version 4.5, java/eclipse-ecj only 4.4.2.
Comment 5 Lorenzo Salvadore freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2023-02-23 19:07:13 UTC 
I have created bug report #269785 to keep track of any progress on a java/eclipse-ecj update.

(In reply to Gerald Pfeifer from comment #4)
Perhaps, there is no need. The only port that depends on ecj is scilab, which is practically abandonware. Besides, gcc-ecj45 version 4.5 is dated by 2010, while eclipse-ecj-4.4.2 was released in 2015.
