For others, probably nothing to do on our side, each packager will be able to patch/sed theirs builds as necessary (Still it will help a lot for future). You seem to be implying that there should be a distro-wide default for source/target/release values. What values do you propose to set them to? 11? Historically we always tried to stay close to upstream and follow their choices for source/target/release whenever possible, changing them only when necessary. A common case was upstreams targeting very old Java releases that are no longer supported by current Java compilers. Therefore IMHO it makes most sense to force *minimal* source/target/release values, or change combinations that are known not to work for sure. But overriding these values across the whole distro is not a good idea in my opinion only, it only introduces unnecessary deviation from upstreams, and potentially introduces bugs. -- Mikolaj Izdebski > I do not know how to provide them as default (except hardcoding in xmvn, and only allow to disable them on demand). > > This will smooth the bump to jdk17 in f36 really a lot. > > > Thoughts? > J. > -- > Jiri Vanek > Senior QE engineer, OpenJDK QE lead, Mgr. > Red Hat Czech > jvanek@xxxxxxxxxx M: +420775390109 > _______________________________________________ > java-devel mailing list -- java-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe send an email to java-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > 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/java-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx _______________________________________________ java-devel mailing list -- java-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to java-devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 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/java-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
