Thanks for this pointer. I gave up on Optware some time ago because almost everything in the repository was too old to be of any interest. It's good to hear that it has a new lease of life now.

Speaking of which, Optware-ng provides up to date OpenJDK 7 and 8 packages for these archs (including MIPSEL) that seems to work well (stable). It is of course slower than Oracle's JRE, but a usable alternative when Oracle is not available. It had a few issues with crypto (TLS) that affected BubbleUPnP Server but I could workaround the major issues. Making these OpenJDK packages has not exactly been a piece of cake for alllexx88 who made them.
