 dish [Fox/It/She] | https://github.com/nixos/nixpkgs/pull/422045 heyo folks, looking for reviews from java maintainers and team on this PR on behalf of the person who opened it(who isn't a matrix user).

 emily | hmm, is that policy we should be deciding ourselves, rather than the user? | 12:48:21 |
| emily | we don't bake fontconfig settings into leaf packages | 12:48:26 |
| emily | https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/422043 ah, it does allow overriding like this | 12:49:01 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | i believe the reason for the pr is so that we allow user overriding but have a sensible default | 12:49:16 |
| emily | right | 12:49:34 |
| emily | the issue indicates they are thinking along the right track and have given due considerations to the trade-offs, so it seems sensible to me | 12:50:04 |

 msgilligan | Gradle 9 is here: https://docs.gradle.org/9.0.0/release-notes.html | 15:01:43 |
| msgilligan | (Unfortunately, Java 25 support is not coming until Gradle 9.1) | 15:03:06 |
| msgilligan | I just reviewed PR 421047 for Gradle 9 (using rc-1) that looks pretty close to ready. | 19:44:28 |
| msgilligan | It's giving the error:
- Attribute `pkgs.gradle_9-unwrapped` is a new top-level package using `pkgs.callPackage ... { /* ... */ }`.
Please define it in pkgs/by-name/gr/gradle_9-unwrapped/package.nix instead.
Is it possible to get an exception to that "discouraged pattern" in a case like this? If not, what's the best way to resolve the issue?

| Tomodachi94 (they/them) | Corretto uses Gradle 7, which might be problematic. I can't remember how much of a challenge a patch would be | 20:01:15 |

| msgilligan | Good news from Debian about Java 25: https://lists.debian.org/debian-java/2025/07/msg00000.html | 20:30:57 |
| msgilligan |
I have performed a rebuild of Java-dependent packages and submitted
the resulting FTBFS bugs for the Java 25 default. There are
significantly fewer issues (39) compared to the Java 21 migration
(146).
