emily | you have to do some hacks to warn on a package without breaking the channels | 19:36:27 |
emily | anyway, sorry to come in here like "hi, I don't know anything, can we get rid of all this stuff" 😅 it's just quite painful to remove or package a new JDK right now, and it really doesn't seem like we should need more than ~3 distributions | 19:37:29 |
Infinidoge 🏳️⚧️ | No worries!
We definitely have room to trim down, like with Zulu as mentioned, that could definitely be replaced with Temurin if I'm reading things correctly. | 19:38:21 |
Infinidoge 🏳️⚧️ | I don't think we should simply remove for the sake of removing, where possible, but when it's actively a maintenance burden it's worth it. | 19:38:55 |
emily | sadly every package causes some kind of burden – if only by slowing down Hydra evaluation and build times and causing the channels to bump slower for everyone. but in this case it's a security burden too, since 22 is now EOL and someone has to go in and deal with every single copy of it and bump to 23 | 19:40:32 |
