Someone wants to depend on a java lib that has been tested only in JRE 8 to 11, but wants to build the package with JRE 17+, or vice-versa, for example. Perhaps, the only feasible way to detect that case is with CI.IMHO, the library should have a: Requires: (java-devel >= 1:8 with java-devel < 1:11) Sure, this will not per se prevent you from attempting to use the library with the Java 17 compiler, but if you do not have Java 8 or 11 installed, installing the library attempting to install it as a dependency should raise a red flag. As a quick check, you could write a specfile for your application with: BuildRequires: java-devel >= 1:17 BuildConflicts: java-devel < 1:17 and then run mock on that. The latter line should prevent the old version from being installed in parallel. One annoyance is that older OpenJDK packages currently drop that virtual Provides, presumably in an attempt to get all Java packages systematically built with a newer JDK. That is something that ought to get fixed. (If we switch to building with the oldest possible Java as I suggest, it will have to get fixed anyway.) As is, you may need to explicitly: BuildConflicts: java-1.8.0-devel BuildConflicts: java-11-devel Kevin Kofler -- _______________________________________________ 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, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
