Bug#989736: openjdk-8: keep out of testing and stable

 

Source: openjdk-8
Version: 8u282-b08-2
Severity: serious
Justification: should not migrate to testing or stable any more
X-Debbugs-Cc: tg@xxxxxxxxx

Keep this package in unstable (and possibly experimental) for now.
It is to be used officially only for bootstrapping JVM-based languages
like Kotlin, as well as to provide LTS packages for stretch and ELTS
for jessie.

Users may use this further at their own risk, with no support.
I’m providing precompiled backports for all Debian releases from wheezy
onwards and all *buntu LTS releases from precise (12.04) onwards in my
personal APT repository; contact me, or see extrepo-data, for details.
