Dear maintainers,
I wonder why in debian/rules the pom files were synchronized with the
ones from Maven having the suffix "-jdk18on" while for building the binary
packages still "ant/jdk15+.xml" is used instead of "ant/jdk18+.xml".
On Maven Central, the two versions of BouncyCastle jar files with the
suffices "-jdk18on" and "-jdk15to18" differ in the point that unlike the
latter the ones with the suffix "-jdk18on" are multi-release jar files
which also support some features that have been introduced in newer Java
releases (9, 11 and 15), and so could speed up some computations.
Debian's versions of the jar files seem to match the ones from Maven with
the suffix "-jdk15to18" but the pom files in
/usr/share/maven-repo/org/bouncycastle/*/1.72/ claim that they match the
ones with the suffix "-jdk18on". This seems to be inconsistent.
Could this be or become a problem?
Best regards,
Thomas Uhle
