Source: octave-ltfat Version: 2.2.0+dfsg-7 Severity: important Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past) User: debian-h...@lists.debian.org Usertags: hppa
Builds of octave-ltfat for hppa [1] (admittedly not a release architecture) have been failing lately with numerous errors (and even more warnings) trying to build under inst/blockproc/java. hppa is noteworthy for having an outdated default-jdk package. (So is hurd-i386, but octave itself is too old there at present.) The fact that this error showed up between 2.2.0+dfsg-4 and 2.2.0+dfsg-7 suggests that it may be possible to do without this Java code. However, if it really is necessary nowadays, please version the build dependency on default-jdk to (>= 2:1.8~), noting the epoch. Thanks!
