[Pkg-erlang-devel] Bug#827449: erlang: Be explicit about java bytecode target

Hi Sergei,

In Ubuntu, we've applied a patch to erlang to specify the java bytecode
compatibility level to use when building.  This patch was first applied
during the transition to openjdk6, so it's quite old, and currently we only
support openjdk8 in testing/unstable/the Ubuntu devel series so there is
*currently* no effect on compatibility to not use this patch.  However,
there will be future java transitions again, so in discussion with the
Ubuntu Java maintainers we've agreed it's useful to keep this patch instead
of dropping it.

So as the same logic seems to apply to Debian, I am forwarding the patch for
your consideration.

Thanks,
