Hello,

The openjdk8 port in MacPorts is currently at 8u372, but two updates with 
security fixes have been released since then: 8u382 in July and 8u392 this 
month. I don’t maintain the openjdk8 port myself, but I’ve tried bumping the 
version, because this port is specified as the java.fallback depedency for a 
number of ports, but sadly without success. I think the patches that MacPorts 
tries to apply are no longer valid, but I don’t have an Intel machine and I 
don’t know how to make the ARM patch work.

I’ve created Trac issues for updating openjdk8 in which I’ve documented the 
errors I got, but the oldest has already been open for over 3 months:

* 8u382: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/67804
* 8u392: https://trac.macports.org/ticket/68498

Can anyone update openjdk8 to 8u392?

I have updated the openjdk8-zulu and openjdk-corretto ports, which installed 
pre-built binaries from Azul and Amazon respectively, but it would be nice if 
our main built-from-source openjdk8 port was also up-to-date with all security 
fixes.

Nils.
