We've done a rebuild on amd64 with Hotspot in April. I fixed several issues and filed bugs for the others: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?tag=openjdk-8-transition;users=debian-java@lists.debian.org We are now down to 36 packages failing to build with openjdk-8, 10 have a pending fix upstream. > - make sure that at least the openjdk jtreg test results look > reasonable and we don't see any regressions between 7 and 8. > It would be interesting to compare test TCK results for those > who have access to this testsuite. Did you get the TCK for Java 8 yet? > I would like to avoid having openjdk-8 in unstable until we have answers to > these questions. It seems to be too easy to upload packages to unstable built > using openjdk-8. All maintainers here build packages with openjdk-7 in a clean chroot, I don't think that's an issue. And if someone uploads a package using the Java 8 class format Lintian will report it. So the risk to wreak havoc in the archive by uploading openjdk-8 to unstable is quite low.
