Hi, thanks for your continued analysis of the Java 9 situation.

Sadness. :( Agreed. Ok, it's too late now and I am sure at least Fedora and the affected upstream developers will face the same issues. Most of the affected packages still have responsive upstreams, so with a bit of luck we will receive some help here. Would you be willing to file bug reports for all Java 9 issues identified by you? I suggest to use severity normal for now, we can always raise the severity later. I believe this would be helpful to start working on some of the problems. > In happier news, an AWS i3.8xlarge (32 cores, 244GB RAM, NVMe) can build > nearly every default-jdk dependency (~1260 packages) in two hours; for <$3 on > the spot market. I have always wondered how I or some random fellow could setup a build environment like that and rebuild all Java packages on a regular basis. Could you create a wiki page for that and add a few pointers and guide lines to it? I believe this would be very helpful for others in the future. Regards, Markus
