Hi,
Last week I started the process to build jdk8 using a Fedora 23
environment. Followed the detailed instructions but came across an
issue. Looking at the bugs database identical issues have been raised
for various components [1] and jdk versions. It appears the backport
missed it into the hotspot repo for jdk8. Browsing the hotspot repo
shows [2] the supported os version doesn't include a 4.x Linux kernel.
Can this fix be backported to the jdk8 hotspot repo as well ?
Sure. See:
http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk8u/approval-template.html
and
http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk8u/groundrules.html
Any 8u committer can do this.
Cheers,
David
