Title:
Improve understandability of package versions for JDK Early Access
Status in openjdk-17 package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in openjdk-lts package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
The current package version of the OpenJDK 17, currently in Early
Access, looks as follows:
openjdk-17-jdk/hirsute-updates,hirsute-security,now 17~19-1ubuntu1
amd64
The `~` in 17~19 should indicate that it is an Early Access, but it is
not understandable for Java developers not acquainted with Debian
package version rules.
The proposal is to add the `ea` suffix to Early Build package version,
so that the 19th EA build of OpenJDK 17, would be:
openjdk-17-jdk/hirsute-updates,hirsute-security,now 17~19ea-1ubuntu1
amd64
The above, adds the `ea` marker that is understandable to Java people
without compromising the structure of the package version.
