Security updates would apply, but I don't think this would be considered a security update, since this is an entirely new version and this source package (openjdk-8) isn't present in 14.04.
As always, an exception might be made since 14.04 has to live for the next 5 years, assuming the build dependencies can be brought down somehow. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1297065 Title: [needs-packaging]openjdk-8 in ubuntu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1297065/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
