Comment 36 for bug 2036873

Thank you for looking into it! I should put together some wiki page on openjdk packaging.

> What is jtreg, what is it used for
This is a regression test harness for openjdk[1] and is used to validate that openjdk works correctly.

> what breaks if we don't ship it
Not shipping jtreg suite forces users to download it outside the archive to validate the openjdk.

> and won't disabling the tests just paper over the problem?
The tests were run in the ppa to ensure that there were no new problems introduced.

>What do you mean by "handled as a separate issue", are you planning on fixing it somehow?
Yes, there is a number of a new packages that needs to be added to focal and jammy[2].

>Is java21 useful without a working jtreg? Won't users be expecting java 21 to just work, but ours will have this defficiency?
Yes. jtreg is not needed to have a working openjdk. This is similar to disabling autopkgtests and executing them manually.
