I'm not sure about this (the internals of Red Hat are quite opaque), but as far as I know, are two different, non-overlapping teams involved here: One that maintains OpenJDK packages (which are fine), and one that maintains Java packages (which have been dying in Fedora for years). (I'm sorry If I am misrepresenting the situation inside Red Hat, but this the extent of my knowledge.) So if you only rely in things like OpenJDK (like for running Minecraft, as I do, too), then you'll be fine. If you need ant or maven, you should be fine too, since those two (and their dependencies) will continue to be maintained. But everything else ... *tumbleweeds* Fabio _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to 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/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
