  • openjdk-8 still needed for bootstrapping?

    From Thorsten Glaser@21:1/5 to All on Mon Jun 26 21:00:01 2023
    Hi,

    apparently there’s again the question whether we still need
    openjdk-8 in sid for bootstrapping JVM-based languages and/or
    utilities. This is independent of the question whehter it
    should be there to ease backports or because people might
    otherwise turn to Canonical’s commercial offer or whether it
    can be supported in sid with not too high effort (given it’s
    maintained with an active upstream, I’d say yes).

    Last time I asked the answer was a vague yes; is this still
    the case?

    Thanks in advance,

    Nothing has changed, so yes. We just need openjdk-8 in unstable.
