Description onkobu 2022-12-30 15:35:14 UTC

sys-devel/gettext is one of the few packages that still depend on Java 8. It seems very likely that it is not ready for >11 (https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1012105 and https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=982526). Nevertheless there is some progress upstream. A patch is available.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
gettext builds/ runs with current LTS Java

Compilation should not be the problem, at least for the split-off: https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/26163

I think 0.22 might actually work already and I just didn't update the ebuild..

but why do we have to keep an old version of java that already sucks even when it's the latest

Sorry, to be clear, that was me noting "hm, I just need to take a look at this, gettext-0.22 might be ok once I fix it."

I've been running this patch[1] for some time now without issue (specifically w/ i2p). Also, the relevant upstream bug[2] has been closed as fixed. Should be ready to just merge it.
