I don’t know what Temurin even is. While I do recommend that people switch to default-jdk, and in fact we have been needing to use at least 11 in development for a while because Maven plugins from Central didn’t work with 8 for some time even when intended to, some customers still run prod on 8, so we need it for testing. (Or, at least, used to; I’m currently not in a Java project at work.) I also have been supplying a customer with openjdk-8 as jessie backport before it was in backports itself, then ELTS. (The mentioned customer is also no longer in a situation to receive/need these, but this gives historical context.) I just did not cease updating this. bye, //mirabilos -- Infrastrukturexperte • tarent solutions GmbH Am Dickobskreuz 10, D-53121 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 **************************************************** /⁀\ The UTF-8 Ribbon ╲ ╱ Campaign against Mit dem tarent-Newsletter nichts mehr verpassen: ╳ HTML eMail!
