As instructed by gyakovlev on #gentoo-proxy-maintainers, I am asking for the openjdk-bin and openjdk packages to install a stable symlink, so packages can depend on these JDK/JRE major versions directly. Otherwise, the packages will break with every small openjdk-11 version update. e.g. /opt/openjdk-bin-11/bin/java Reproducible: Always

for openjdk:11 stable location is always at /usr/$(get_libdir)/openjdk-11/bin/java for openjdk-bin:11 it's not at /opt/openjdk-bin-11/bin/java you still have to implement logic on your side to allow switching. I suggest a wrapper that checks presence of /usr/lib64 location first and falls back to /opt/ location second.
