Indeed, openjdk-8 is planned to be removed from buster, but any user that tries to run apksigner with a java 8 level binary (from openjdk, oracle, or other vendors) will be unable to do so. In addition to that Debian derivatives might be affected: Ubuntu is keeping openjdk-8 available for users and to avoid such simply delta I am proposing the patch to Debian.
The early changelog entry related to the "-source 8" change stated that this was done to support java 8 level, but it missed the fact that it should actually have added "-target 8" at the least. I am aiming to fix that with the "--release 8" flag which is the proper way to set source/target since OpenJDK 9. Please note that the jh_build tool from javatools package has a bug that causes this package to currently FTBFS (with or without my change as the bug forces -source 7 -target 7 to be used which is incompatible with the level 8 source code): https://bugs.debian.org/925617 Regards, Tiago On Mon, Mar 25, 2019 at 4:52 PM Hans-Christoph Steiner <h...@at.or.at> wrote: > > > Can you tell me more about the use case for this? my understanding is > that openjdk-8 will not be supported in buster. > > .hc > > Tiago Daitx: > > Hi, > > > > Please consider my upload to mentors as a fix for this issue > > https://mentors.debian.net/package/android-platform-tools-apksig > > https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/a/android-platform-tools-apksig/android-platform-tools-apksig_0.8-3.dsc > > > > Regards, > > Tiago > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Android-tools-devel mailing list > > android-tools-de...@alioth-lists.debian.net > > https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/android-tools-devel > > -- Tiago Stürmer Daitx Software Engineer tiago.da...@canonical.com PGP Key: 4096R/F5B213BE (hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com) Fingerprint = 45D0 FE5A 8109 1E91 866E 8CA4 1931 8D5E F5B2 13BE
