Public bug reported: Dear maintainer,
currently openjdk-8 is still in the universe section only for upcoming 16.04 LTS (xenial) and the older openjdk-7 is in main. As i understand it this also means that openjdk-8 in that next LTS will not be covered by guaranteed updates for 5 years but just the older openjdk-7. Is there are plan to get openjdk-8 into main to be covered by LTS guarantee still in time for 16.04 LTS? If not, could you please explain why or list what is pending to maybe get to this goal? Probably related discussion involving you in debian: https://lists.debian.org/debian-mips/2015/09/msg00011.html Note: I have asked that same question via the 'Answers' section in the package a while ago but did not get a useful answer and was referred to re-ask via a bug. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-8/+question/280443 Regards, Stefan ** Affects: openjdk-8 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of OpenJDK, which is subscribed to openjdk-8 in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1539900 Title: openjdk-8 in main for upcoming 16.04 LTS Status in openjdk-8 package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Dear maintainer, currently openjdk-8 is still in the universe section only for upcoming 16.04 LTS (xenial) and the older openjdk-7 is in main.
