Hi Grzegorz,

no problem - for the upload to unstable of ant 1.6.3 after sarge release
we can switch back to sablevm.

Well, I needed ant 1.6.3 to prepare some stuff which needed the new
jikes bootclasspath feature and could not wait !

For what you can get into sarge or not I would speak with
debian-release first. Otherwise they may let you revert things
which are of not servere or important severity and you have
twice the work preparing an upload !

Thanks,

Wolfgang
