 Benedikt Ritter (britter) | Thanks for taking a look @msgilligan:matrix.org !
I'm not at my computer right now, but I don't think my change is related since it only comes into effect when you run the update deps task.
I tend to avoid running nixpkgs-review for Gradle changes if not strictly required, because it takes forever to build all those packages 😅 | 20:11:13 |
 msgilligan | I'll post a comment on the PR itself with some questions. | 20:14:17 |

| Puna | here to ask about adding more JDKs, sorry!
thinking about adding repackagings of Debian's OpenJDK builds as another binary distro, to allow for bootstrapping of our OpenJDK on platforms that Temurin & co don't support.
doing this for my ppc64 stuff, but they also have loongarch64 builds, so maybe interesting to that group too.
any opinions against doing that? :)

edit:
seems like the loongnix folks already use some other binary builds for bootstrapping, so maybe not as interesting them. but still interesting to me. :)

| Benedikt Ritter (britter) | msgilligan: any idea how we can move the PR I made for gradle build support forward? I'm not sure what to do in order to get your approval. I don't think my change caused the breakage that you've been seeing. | 08:00:36 |
| msgilligan | I will take another look at it this weekend. (I've been spread thin and haven't had much time for Nixpkgs lately 😢) | 17:53:20 |

| Benedikt Ritter (britter) | I don't understand our story around JREs... I would expect to find for each pkgs.jdkXX the equivalent pkgs.jreXX but this is not the case. Also we use to have pkgs.jdk21 for example. Now we only have _minimal and _headless but not full OpenJDK dist? | 08:52:47 |
| Benedikt Ritter (britter) | In 25.05 we used to have temurin-jre-bin-21 for example. But it looks like on 25.11 we only have javaPackages.compiler.temurin-bin.jdk21 but no jre anymore. | 08:54:56 |
| Benedikt Ritter (britter) | Okay, this looks like I'm supposed to configure a minimal jre myself: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/nixos-25.11/pkgs/development/compilers/openjdk/jre.nix#L43 | 08:56:27 |
| Benedikt Ritter (britter) | There's also zulu but it has it's own naming conventions and thus will not show up in the package search when searching for jre or jdk: https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=25.11&query=zulu | 08:59:40 |
 raboof | might make sense to mention those as search terms in the zulu longDescription? | 09:34:35 |

| Infinidoge 🏳️⚧️ | Sorry for the lack of communication from me, been taking it easy while I go through the semester | 02:18:24 |
| Benedikt Ritter (britter) | Sorry for not coming back about this. I think we lack several things here:
- a clear structure of how we make various JDK and JRE build available in the package set
- documentation about the above
- and looking at 25.11 release notes: communication about availability and changes of JDK packages
I guess the first step here is to create an issue and make a proposal.
