[HEADS-UP] OpenJDK 11 is now the default Java in rawhide

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



(Sending this heads-up in a new thread for better visibility.)

Yesterday the f33-java11 side tag was merged into rawhide, which
brings the necessary changes to make java-11-openjdk the default Java
in fedora. All packages depending on Java should also have been
rebuilt in this side tag.

The "new" Java SIG (@java-maint-sig) is still dealing with a pretty
small amount of fallout from this change. For example, some packages
that are stuck on Java 8 for various reasons are failing to compile or
run because their dependencies have been built with bytecode that is
too new for OpenJDK 8.

We're tracking the packages that are stuck with OpenJDK 8 here:
https://pagure.io/java-maint-sig/issue/10

There's also a complete bytecode version analysis of all Java packages
in fedora in progress to identify more possible issues:
https://pagure.io/java-maint-sig/issue/7

I have tried to deal with the pretty long list of "easy fixes" for
Java 11 compatibility, having fixed over 50 FTBFS issues over the past
few days alone. The remaining "EasyFix" candidates are tracked here,
though we'll probably close this ticket soon.
https://pagure.io/java-maint-sig/issue/1

If you see any issues with Java 11 as default in rawhide (the change
is live in rawhide and will be part of the next successful compose,
possibly today), feel free to comment on the linked tickets if you
have similar issues, or open a new ticket with @java-maint-sig on
pagure if you need help.
