Description of problem: I know that we're testing Open JDK 11 and above in Cauldron. However, lets say I want to use the latest official version of Libreoffice and regardless if I clone the git repo or use the svn version that we have.... I end up with this error when I run ./autogen.sh: checking the installed JDK... configure: error: JDK is too old, you need at least 9 (10800 < 10900) Error running configure at ./autogen.sh line 299. So, my question to the package maintainer/packager is: Can we push an update for the JDK to Mageia 7 or is there no time before Mageia 8 is released? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.8.0.262 How reproducible: All the time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Make sure all the build dependancies for Libreoffice are installed. 2. cd to anywhere you want to clone Libreoffice Core repo to. 3. Run git clone --recursive -b master https://github.com/LibreOffice/core.git 4. cd core/ 5. Run ./autogen.sh 6. Compiler fails to finish with the error described in the Description of problem part.
Hi, thanks for reporting this bug. @Kristoffer, do you run Cauldron or M7? Currently, we have: java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.272.b02-0.0.ea.4.mga8 available in Cauldron Core and installed by default with current Beta1 ISO. BUT we have: java-11-openjdk-11.0.9.6-0.0.ea.1.mga8 available in Cauldron Core too! and java-latest-openjdk-14.0.2.12-2.rolling.3.mga8 in Cauldron updates_testing. If you run M8 Cauldron, I suggest you to nuke java-1.8.0-openjdk and replace it by java-11. Meanwhile, do you want a backport to M7?

I'm running Mageia 7. I wish for a backport of Java 11 at least to Mageia 7.
Given your specific motive for this request (up-to-date LibreOffice for Mageia 7), one could suggest you try its Appimage or Flatpak. The generic request remains valid, however; although the approach of Mageia 8 makes it less likely. Assigning this to neoclust for java-..-openjdk who can quickly decide about it.

Mageia 7 is EOL since July 1st 2021. There will not have any further bugfix for this release. You are encouraged to upgrade to Mageia 8 as soon as possible. @reporter, if this bug still apply with Mageia 8, please let us know it. @packager, if you work on the Mageia 7 version of your package, please check the Mageia 8 package if issue is also present. In this case, please fix the Mageia 8 version instead. This bug report will be closed OLD if there is no further notice within 1st September 2021.
Since this report was opened Java has been updated to meet the needs to build Libreoffice so I therefor consider this as a RESOLVED FIXED.
