It looks like antlr4 doesn't depend on jaxb directly, but only indirectly via jakarta-json. Let me see if that dependency can be removed. Still, it would have been nice to have a heads up about jaxb disappearing, and doing so right before final freeze is a really terrible idea, as you note. -- Jerry James http://www.jamezone.org/ _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] 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/[email protected] Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
