Re: [RFC] Remove pdftk and gcc-java

GCJ is practically dead these days, and it has been completely dropped

The one package in the distro which still required GCJ -- namely, pdftk
-- actually has licensing issues:

With the recent addition of qpdf for both arches (thanks, Marco!), I
would like to remove pdftk from the distro, and gcc-java from gcc in the
next build.  Any objections?


fine for me.

Marco
