== Summary ==
This is the last step in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MoveFedoraJDKsToBecomePortableJDKs effort. Jdks in fedora are already static, and we repack portable tarball into rpms. Currently, the portbale tarball is built for each Fedora and Epel version. Goal here is to build each jdk (8,11,17,21,latest (20)) only once, in oldest live Fedora xor Epel and repack in all live fedoras.
If I understand this correctly, this just means that java package built on Fedora x-2 will be tagged also in Fedora x-1, Fedora x and Rawhide. Am I correct?
No. I'm to scared to seal integration by building rpms once, and jsut retag. So we choosen middle way - to build once portable packages, which is build of openjdk, resulting to simply tar.xz. That rpm with only tarball in it have no integration. You can unpack that anywhere and run its java.
This rpm with tarbll is build reqired by rpms, which just reapck its content to subpakcages as we were used until now. The portable rpm with tarball is what is going to be tagged to all fedoras. The integration rpms will reamin per-fedora.
If so, maybe the proposal needs a better wording rather than "repack in all live fedoras", as that sounds like RPMs are "repacked" in some way, but the truth is that the same RPM is made available in several Fedora repositories.
so no :)
TY!
