As noted elsewhere in this thread, I'm negotiating with jdk11 possible future maintainers they step in as help. If my brain's built-in translator is working correctly, does this mean you're withdrawing your announcement and deprecation? I'd very very much welcome that! In my ‚main side job', I work in the Fedora Server WG. And Java is an extremely important part of the software portfolio for servers. And because of its very extensive backwards compatibility – an important trademark and difference to other popular languages – Java 11 is basically not dispensable either. And Temurin is not a solution for us because the Fedora guidelines only allow us to install Fedora-built packages. Of course I also see the workload and didn't want to (kind of) demand it before. > >> updates upstream and, e.g., in Adoptium Temurin (to which the console spam >> from the Fedora RPM was actually pointing).

It is, or would be, a very serious infringement of the Fedora Java runtime environment. This cannot be announced early enough and as widely as possible. And because servers are mainly administered via terminal, a large proportion of users get aware of it. — Peter Boy https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Pboy PBoy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Timezone: CET (UTC+1) / CEST (UTC+2) Fedora Server Edition Working Group member Fedora Docs team contributor and board member Java developer and enthusiast -- _______________________________________________ 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
