[Bug 1341628] Re: [needs-packaging]openjdk-8 in 14.04

 

Please make an effort to fix this.

OpenJDK reaches end of life April 2015. RHEL 6 have even made openjdk 8
available in its repository.

We do not want Ubuntu to be an obsolete Linux distribution.

Title:
  [needs-packaging]openjdk-8 in 14.04

Status in openjdk-8 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  openjdk-8 is now available in Utopic:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openjdk-8/+bug/1297065

  According to the comments in that bug, a separate bug needs to be
  reported for backporting.

  I am especially interested in a package for 14.04, hence raising this
  specific bug.
