Description Marc Krämer 2021-03-03 00:53:30 CET
we've got java 11 - but current software needs java 15.
e.g. https://mediathekview.de/

sure there is a bundled package - but is it really the idea to have the binary interpreter bundled with each software package?!
Comment 1 Nicolas Lécureuil 2021-03-03 11:14:06 CET
i can add it in backport ( but no 15 but 16 )

That would be great to have a recent version available.

@Mark: you can test java 16
Comment 6 Morgan Leijström 2021-03-04 10:36:35 CET
I love the speed here!

When this is confirmed working, i think we shall add to Release notes that java 16 is available in backports.

(same goes for Nextcloud BTW)

Comment 7 Marc Krämer 2021-03-04 15:11:44 CET
After installation /etc/alternatives/java was not updated - or is it intended when java11 is already installed to keep the old version here?

Uninstall of java11 causes uninstall of eclipse-swt and libreoffice*

If java11 is still needed, I'm fully ok with it, but maybe this shows there is a dependancy which can be resolved.
Comment 8 Nicolas Lécureuil 2021-03-04 19:26:55 CET
yes need to keep java11 ( needed by lo, etc).

i don't remember the command right now but you can modify update-alternatives yourself.

update-alternatives --display java

can tell you what is configured
