Now last step is ahead - to build portable LTS JDKs 8,11,17 and 21 in oldest live Fedora, and repack everywhere. java-latest-openjdk, which contains latest STS jdk - currently 20, soon briefly 21 and a bit alter 22... Should be built in latest live EPEL - epel8 now. We have verified, that such repacked JDKs work fine.
Can you clarify this a bit? It sounds like some versions of the JDK in Fedora will actually be built in EPEL. I feel that all Fedora packages should actually built for Fedora, not RHEL.
Also, what exactly does "latest live EPEL" mean - how is 8 the latest?
I guess basically, can you further explain/clarify exactly which versions of what OS which JDKs will be built on, and when those versions will change.
