I agree. Can we discuss alternative routes to reduce maintenance burden for OpenJDK than what you're currently planning for the long term? Maybe we can think about whether it's absolutely necessary to keep maintaining three different LTS versions of OpenJDK? Dropping at least java-1.8.0-openjdk would already reduce maintenance burden for OpenJDK packages by over 25% (given that 1.8.0 seems to cause you most of the problems recenty). If statically linking against bundled versions of *some* dependencies would really help that much, it might also be worth considering, as a last resort, to keep OpenJDK packages in Fedora at all. However, I personally am strongly against the "follow-up" proposal, MoveFedoraJDKsToBecomePortableJDKs. Most importantly, the "Known issues" section on this wiki page sounds to me like it should be completely out of the question to actually go forward with the proposal. > Some time ago, jiri vanek <jva...@redhat.com> wrote: > We realy do no like this change, but we do not see another way. I wonder how this happened? Has this issue been brewing for a while? Or will Red Hat be downsizing the OpenJDK team in the near future? ;) Fabio _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
