"Drop hard-coded entry for openjdk-8 In theory this entry was added for 'bootstrapping', but we have definitely not needed openjdk-8 for bootstrapping newer openjdks for a long time. Leave this in place for releases older than noble so we can continue to provide security support for it as needed, but make sure we don't wrongly carry it forward."
https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu-archive- tools/commit/?id=64fae2d640cee3ffe489419cce7a547f3c3530e9 openjdk versions had been hard-coded for i386 in a python script instead of going through the standard process for seeding of packages. This had several consequences, including the fact that dependencies were not automatically resolved by germinate. As part of the discussions around jdk test dependencies in Ubuntu 24.04, I started to look at cleaning up this hard-coding and was told that our previous reasons for needing openjdk-8 i386 binaries no longer applied. It is possible to restore this in 24.04 but someone would need to present a use case for it. ** Changed in: openjdk-8 (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2063834 Title: openjdk-8-jre:i386 openjdk-8-jre-headless:i386 missing for noble To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-8/+bug/2063834/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
