As Oracle soon starts to charge for some uses of dev-java/openjdk 1.8 maybe Gentoo could add dev-java/openjdk 1.8 too ease transition to openjdk ?
Maybe we could have the -bin openjdk's from https://adoptopenjdk.net/ ? With a USE flag to select HotSpot or OpenJ9
ping ? anyone home ?
Hi. Yes, there are plans to add openjdk8 and *maybe* openj9-jdk as a separate package, not a useflag. I'm working on it, can't say about the dates but probably should land early 2019 right after holidays.
meanwhile, can you check this openj9-jdk-bin ebuild? https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/10383 still working on source one but bin works for me so far. I'm going to fix small issues with it (nothing critical and push to the tree)
Created attachment 560090 [details] openjdk:8 ebuild Here is my openjdk-bin:8 ebuild Notice the small diff with the in tree :11 one.
Please test and provide feedback here (preferred) or on the PR on github. https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/10858 I haven't yet tested myself really well, but it builds with icedtea. jbootstrap works, and it can build itself.
Thanks! It would be nice if https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8204142 could be backported to java-8 as well. We can see the effects of this bug in openjdk-8
openjdk 8u202-b08 is out now
can't see a release here yet. https://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk8u/

Thre are more tags at: https://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8u/jdk8u I figure these are some sort of releases ?
actually it seems there is new ga tag and it's released indeed, but release page not updated. https://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk8u-dev/2019-January/008381.html

@gyakovlev I've been unmasking openjdk-11's gentoo-VM USE flag without much problem (admittedly I only use a couple of java packages) and so I tried tracing back to figure out why the USE flag was masked. The best I could find was mention of this bug in the commit message, and that it would be unmasked once it was proven stable in the actual mask file. As such, I was wondering if there was a tracker bug or some list of the problems encountered when using it as a gentoo-vm?
What is the point of this package, when we already have dev-java/icedtea providing OpenJDK with better arch support?
I like the post which you shared here and thanks for that. https://tellthebell.ninja
