We can take this off the BTS (and into German) but essentially: - Simon controls both the R Core and rJava side - There is an update mechanism (R CMD javareconf) to respond to changing Java - Sadly "we" cannot run it an rJava-client package build time (/usr r-o I think) - So "we" have to update the r-base-core package, and I did in 3.4.2-2 - This to the best of my knowledge does not affect old builds but I could be wrong - Builds going forward use rJava with a matching r-base-core and all is well and that is basically how it's been for 15 years.
