Package: findbugs Version: 2.0.3+repack-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Java maintainers,
I would like to get some other virtual machines installed on my system (e.g., the one from Oracle or have only openjdk-8---or openjdk-9 if I'm feeling adventurous) and it would be super nice to have one of those fulfill the dependencies that default-jre provides. I know that (in part) the effect can be achieved via the alternative system, but I think that having the alternative specified serves more than one purpose: * From a minimalistic POV, it allows the user to have only one runtime installed. * From a version requirement POV, having java5-runtime (or 6 or 7...) states clearly what is the minimum runtime version that the program requires. There are probably many other reasons to relax the strict requirement of default-jre (which, BTW, is a moving target), but those are the first ones that come to my mind. Since this bug report is quite "adventurous", I can perfectly understand it if you think that a wontfix is suitable. :) Thanks for your amazing work maintaining the Java packages, -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (150, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.0.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf-8, LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.utf-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages findbugs depends on: ii default-jre 2:1.7-52 ii java-wrappers 0.1.28 ii junit4 4.12-2 ii libasm3-java 3.3.2-2 ii libcommons-lang-java 2.6-5 ii libdom4j-java 1.6.1+dfsg.3-2 ii libfindbugs-bcel-java 6.0~rc3-1 ii libjaxen-java 1.1.6-1 ii libjcip-annotations-java 20060626-5 ii libjdepend-java 2.9.1-1 ii libjformatstring-java 0.10~20131207-1 ii libjsr305-java 0.1~+svn49-8 findbugs recommends no packages. findbugs suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- Rogério Brito : rbrito@{ime.usp.br,gmail.com} : GPG key 4096R/BCFCAAAA http://cynic.cc/blog/ : github.com/rbrito : profiles.google.com/rbrito DebianQA: http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=rbrito%40ime.usp.br -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
