90% of most terrible work was done by Fabio. All kudos to him!-)
As for alternatives not working in SB or FCOS, I filed a bug against
SB, which was closed since there was an upstream bug tracking it. AFAIK, it will be
tackled at a later release. Though I am uncertain what later release is the intended
target. In the
I see. Definitely not in next jdk version. Although I recall this issue a bit do you ave
the bug id handy?
meantime, I am embracing the container workflow more, this includes with my jdk dev
projects. As I learn this way more, it does become easier. I guess I should expect a
learning curve when I want to use near bleeding edge stuff. Also, the maturing of things
like flatpaks, podman, etc... is happening constantly and thus things integrate better.
Plus, platforms like Quarkus have gone a long way to making this container based workflow
an easier transition than it would be without.
You are right. Quarkus is fresh air in this area.
Jdk packaging as is now is not exactly healthy for container/flatpak world. The only
reasonable way is to have base images per JDK:(
Thanx a lto for ideas!

source/target flags of javac. I would like to avoid it in future... versions is a must for
anyone doing Java programming for different organizations. So anything to make that a
smoother operating workflow IMHO is welcome. Hm. How come alternatives do not work for
SilverBlue and CoreOs?

idea is, to provide rpm macros, keeping the default source/target eventually - for jdk11
and up -the release - numbers for javac to use. Then to provide tooling, which will help
packagers to use them - for ant and maven it should be simple. For others, probably
nothing to do on our side, each packager will be able to patch/sed theirs builds as
necessary (Still it will help a lot for future). I do not know how to provide them as
default (except hardcoding in xmvn, and only allow to disable them on demand). This will
smooth the bump to jdk17 in f36 really a lot. Thoughts? J. -- Jiri Vanek Senior QE
