Bug Description
Asking for a FFe exception to keep in sync (or merging) with Java packages as uploaded to Debian, until the 18.04 LTS release. As outlined in
https:/
we are planning to update to the next so called OpenJDK LTS version, which is to be released in September/October 2018. Java 10 and Java 11 support will likely require new upstream versions, and it's probably not feasible to backport compatibility patches for ~1300 source packages. However the impact on the archive is somehow limited as the java universe is much self contained (packages only build indep packages related to Java). To give an idea about which packages may need an update, please see
https:/
That's the majority of packages, however there maybe be pure java packages maintained by other people as well.
Care should be taken for packages which build java unrelated binary packages, and only provide java bindings, as an update to a new version might have more impact on other packages.
