I am in favor of removing OpenJDK 21 from Fedora 44. As you said, the great majority of the packages are already built with OpenJDK 25. About 9 packages are FTBFS even with OpenJDK 21. The remaining ones should be possible to switch to build with OpenJDK 25. -- Mikolaj > > > Best regards, > J. > > > > [1] > apache-commons-modeler-0:2.0.1-43.fc42.src > apache-commons-text-0:1.10.0-8.fc42.src > apache-sshd-1:2.11.0-2.fc41.src > decentxml-0:1.4-36.fc41.src > fop-0:2.9-9.fc41.src > Java-WebSocket-0:1.6.0-4.fc43.src > l10n-maven-plugin-0:1.1.0-2.fc43.src > maven-archetype-0:3.2.1.0.8b3bdb6-14.fc41.src > resteasy-0:3.0.26-32.fc42.src > xmlgraphics-commons-0:2.11-1.fc43.src > javapoet-0:1.7.0-27.fc43.src > java-runtime-decompiler-0:10.0-6.fc43.src > jol-0:0.17-10.fc43.src > juniversalchardet-0:2.4.0-16.fc43.src > plexus-velocity-0:2.2.1-2.fc43.src > stringtemplate4-0:4.3.4-9.fc43.src > xbean-0:4.24-8.fc43.src > xbean-0:4.24-9.fc43.src > icedtea-web-0:1.8.8-10.fc43.src > java-21-openjdk-portable-1:21.0.8.0.9-1.fc43.2.src > ldapjdk-0:5.6.0-0.1.alpha1.fc43.3.src > ldapjdk-0:5.6.0-1.fc43.src > mecab-java-0:0.996-14.fc43.src > openjdk-asmtools-0:9.0.0.b12.ea.eb1979669-0.fc43.src > mecab-java-0:0.996-14.fc43.src > fop-0:2.9-9.fc41.src > nekohtml-0:1.9.22-29.fc42.src > jedit-0:5.6.0-8.fc43.src > > > Seem like I'm maintaining quite a few of them anyway.... > > > -- > Jiri Vanek <[email protected]> > Principal JDK QA engineer > IBM Middleware Czechia s.r.o. > +420 775 39 01 09 > > -- > _______________________________________________ > 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, report it: > https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue -- _______________________________________________ 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, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
