Package: openjdk-8 Version: 8u40~b04-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: origin-ubuntu utopic ubuntu-patch
Hi guys, We got a backport request in Ubuntu for openjdk-8, with a note that gcc-4.9 → gcc-4.8 in d/control is required. I took a look and noticed some automagic generation, but this assumes that the release on the machine being built for is the same as the one the package is being prepared for. I don't think this assumption will always hold. How about the attached approach, which uses the changelog distribution instead? A modification might be to fall back to the old way in the UNRELEASED case? Don't have a solution for the distribution variable apart from maintaining a table mapping from release to distro, but I think that it's less likely to be a problem in practice.
