** Description changed: - FFe: sync java packages from Debian to fix OpenJDK 9/10 issues + Asking for a FFe exception to keep in sync (or merging) with Java + packages as uploaded to Debian, until the 18.04 LTS release. As + outlined in + + https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu- + release/2018-March/004359.html + + we are planning to update to the next so called OpenJDK LTS version, + which is to be released in September/October 2018. Java 10 and Java 11 + support will likely require new upstream versions, and it's probably not + feasible to backport compatibility patches for ~1300 source packages. + However the impact on the archive is somehow limited as the java + universe is much self contained (packages only build indep packages + related to Java). To give an idea about which packages may need an + update, please see + + https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?email=pkg-java- + maintainers%40lists.alioth.debian.org + + That's the majority of packages, however there maybe be pure java + packages maintained by other people as well. + + Care should be taken for packages which build java unrelated binary + packages, and only provide java bindings, as an update to a new version + might have more impact on other packages.
