Source: jna Version: 4.4.0 Severity: normal User: debian-j...@lists.debian.org Usertags: default-java9
This package fails to build with default-jdk pointing to openjdk-9-jdk. Please fix it, so that we can start the transition to Java 9. The wiki has some common problems and their solutions: https://wiki.debian.org/Java/Java9Pitfalls Upstream are not going to support building with Java 9, even in their next release, but intend to support running on it: https://github.com/java-native-access/jna/issues/856 > The upcoming JNA 4.5.0 should work with Java 9, but is only > buildable on java 8 and before. (The issue also discusses some less relevant crashes; which we can ignore for the purpose of this bug report; sorry!) JNA is pretty important, I believe Gradle depends on it, plus svnkit and a couple of other important-looking libraries, so we probably can't RM it, or leave it broken during a transition. What's the plan? Change the build-dep to openjdk-8, so that default-jdk can transition, then package newer versions as they are released?
