Bug#893227: libbluray FTBFS with openjdk-9

[Reinhard Tartler]

Hi Petri,

The schedule for Debian can be seen at https://wiki.debian.org/DebianBuster:

   -

   2014-11-09: Distribution codename announced
   <https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2014/11/msg00005.html>
   -

   2017-06-17: Stretch <https://wiki.debian.org/DebianStretch> is released,
   and buster becomes testing <https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting>
   -

   2019-01-12: Transition freeze (announced
   <https://release.debian.org/buster/freeze_policy.html>)
   - 2019-02-12: Soft freeze
   - 2019-03-12: Full freeze

So assuming the new libblueray doesn't require changes in
depending packages we have until Feburary 12 to upload (AND TEST)
an updated package.

Hi Emmanuel,

You may or may not remember, the Debian Multimedia team has been
asked earlier last year to look into getting libbluray to work
with newer JDKs. There is some progress, but apparently we are
just not quite there yet, please see Petri's message below.

Can you please give us an update on the roadmap for Java?
What's the status on removing openjdk-8 from buster?

Best,
-rt
