packaging a java 8 program: javahelper problems

Show all headers | View raw

Hi folks,

I'm packaging a Java application[1] that requires Java 8. It seems at the
moment this is not possible in a policy-compliant way as javahelper can't yet
generate appropriate ${java:Depends} for 1.8 yet. (IIRC)

I guess it's no problem as I can hard-code openjdk-8-* until javahelper is
updated but I suppose that's strictly against policy.

Can I ask what the plans/timeline are/is for javahelper to support Java 8
apps?

Thanks!
