Hi Sergei, In Ubuntu, we've applied a patch to erlang to specify the java bytecode compatibility level to use when building. This patch was first applied during the transition to openjdk6, so it's quite old, and currently we only support openjdk8 in testing/unstable/the Ubuntu devel series so there is *currently* no effect on compatibility to not use this patch. However, there will be future java transitions again, so in discussion with the Ubuntu Java maintainers we've agreed it's useful to keep this patch instead of dropping it. So as the same logic seems to apply to Debian, I am forwarding the patch for your consideration. Thanks, -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
