Hi Adrian, >When Matthias re-uploaded openjdk-8 for bootstrapping Kotlin, I just >rebuilt the last working version 8u171-b11-2 [1] for m68k and uploaded >it.
I see. >I tried fixing the issue you are seeing but just gave up at some point OK, thanks for the confirmation. >because I was hoping that the Kotlin guys will eventually jump to >openjdk-11 which works way better on all architectures (except currently >riscv64 it seems). I’d surely hope so. My current hope is that it only needs to be bootstrapped on one architectures and is arch:all afterwards, but I don’t know. (I’m not even sure anyone knows, at this point.) >Is there a reason the Kotlin developers are stuck on version 8? I don’t know that either. I just know openjdk-8 is still used by lots of people, supported in stretch LTS and jessie ELTS, also in xenial, but it vanished due to Matthias seemingly being disinterested in making the jump to build with GCC 10. I had been building updated copies locally, but then came https://lists.debian.org/debian-java/2021/03/msg00021.html which gave me the incentive to resurrect it in unstable proper. (Which also possibly makes it easier to support (E)LTS.) But okay, it’s no biggie, there’s 11, and we can look at 8 again only if it’ll indeed end up being needed (which wouldn’t work for the next stable anyway so I’d assume it won’t be needed). bye, //mirabilos -- 22:59⎜<Vutral> glaub ich termkit is kompliziert | glabe nicht das man damit schneller arbeitet | reizüberflutung │ wie windows │ alles evil zuviel bilder │ wie ein spiel | 23:00⎜<Vutral> die meisten raffen auch nicht mehr von windows | 23:01⎜<Vutral> bilderbücher sind ja auch nich wirklich verbreitet als erwachsenen literatur ‣ who needs GUIs thus?
