It's not, it was removed because it still B-D'd on gcc 9. I tried to organise updating OpenJDK 8 with Tiago on the Ubuntu side and pochu on the (E)LTS side, but pochu did not answer and Tiago is no longer in the capacity to upgrade this. (I have no idea what Ubuntu will do, when 8u292 GA comes out, on 20th April.) I have working builds of 8u282 for bullseye, buster, stretch, jessie and wheezy (and precise and trusty). I can probably (almost certainly) take care of updating OpenJDK 8 for some time longer, even on company time, but I have no idea how I would upload to (E)LTS. I can certainly bring it back to unstable, built with gcc 10, if there are no major issues involved in making it build with GCC 10, if there is interest. bye, //mirabilos -- Infrastrukturexperte • tarent solutions GmbH Rochusstraße 2-4, D-53123 Bonn • http://www.tarent.de/ Telephon +49 228 54881-393 • Fax: +49 228 54881-235 HRB AG Bonn 5168 • USt-ID (VAT): DE122264941 Geschäftsführer: Dr. Stefan Barth, Kai Ebenrett, Boris Esser, Alexander Steeg ************************************************* Mit dem tarent-Newsletter nichts mehr verpassen: www.tarent.de/newsletter *************************************************
