I did a practice partial archive rebuild with ebourg's 1.8 default-jdk, to see what kind of problems might be left. 1144 packages[1] that dose-debuildcheck thinks depend on default-jdk, around ten unexpected/new failures.
My full notes are on whiteboard[2], with a backup at time of sending[3]. Final build logs; anything marked as "failure" here failed multiple times: https://rbuild.fau.xxx/2015-08-31/ Probably broken by jdk8: ------------------------ default-jdk doesn't have /usr/lib/jvm/java-7-openjdk-amd64/lib/tools.jar: * biojava3-live * biojava4-live Refuses to run under jdk8: * netbeans fatal error: jni_md.h: No such file or directory * libnb-platform18-java "cannot access" errors are, I think, from -source 1.5: * xmlbeans error: cannot access TypeStoreUser * lucene4.10 error: cannot access SelfDescribing * lucene4 error: cannot access SelfDescribing * sweethome3d-furniture-editor error: cannot access Localizable * freemind error: cannot access Opcodes * gnome-split @Override And, not so sure about these: * jaxb <anonymous com.sun.tools.jxc.model.nav.ApNavigator$1> is not abstract and does not override abstract method <A>getAnnotationsByType(Class<A>) in AnnotatedConstruct * jing-trang Annotations cannot be converted to AnnotationsImpl * maven-stapler-plugin javadoc: error - option -locale must be first on the command line. On top of these, there's: * Eclipse things (which we know is being worked on) * 15 packages which are probably broken due to incompatability with the builder, or flaky test sets, which should probably be re-tested. * 15 packages which need more time or memory or.. than the builder was willing to give them, and should probably be tested. * ~17 packages with RC bugs already * ~15 packages with other build problems Some of these may have already been fixed; been doing this for a few days, on and off.
