There has been lots of talk around Dependabot on the dev ML in the last few months. The current issue is that we want all robot emails off the dev ML and on to another probably new list.
WRT Java 6, I would say forget it from my POV and interest. I am trying to move all components to Java 8, which is the oldest Java LTS release. Remember that no one will force an app onto a new version, it's up to the app. It's not clear to me if we have even interest for a BSF release. It looks like the last functional commit was from 2014, not a great sign... Any thoughts folks? Gary On Tue, Nov 24, 2020, 10:15 Rony G.
