OpenJDK 17 is a new LTS release, which leaves the Buildroot Config option of
"LTS" and "LATEST" as a misnomer because both 11 and 17 are LTS releases.
There are two options in this case:
1) Remove "LATEST" and update OpenJDK 11 to 17, and only support 17.
2) Change "LTS" to "11" and "LATEST" to "17" and only support the latest 2 LTS
OpenJDK releases.
After some discussion with Thomas Petazzoni and Peter Korsgaard, and testing,
option 2 is the best course of action for a few reasons:
- OpenJDK 11 and 17 have very long support cycles:
- OpenJDK 11 has two years of Active and five years of security support left.
- OpenJDK 17 has five years of Active and ten years of security support left.
- Both OpenJDK versions build with the same parameters.
- The maintenance cost of both versions is meager.
- Both versions pass tests.package.test_openjdk without issue.
Changes:
- Change BR2_OPENJDK_VERSION_LATEST -> BR2_OPENJDK_VERSION_17
- Change BR2_OPENJDK_VERSION_LTS -> BR2_OPENJDK_VERSION_11
