No new entries into testing are now possible any more.Damn, that might mean a lot of Android packages are not going to be in bookworm. We're in a very similar boat as Kotlin/Gradle, with upstream still building things with JDK8. We have piles of time-consuming hacks to keep things going.We're going to loose a bunch of Android things because doclava cannot run newer JDKs. Upstream still uses JDK8 to build it in the current Android code.You mean you lost these after stretch when openjdk-8 was not shipped with buster any more, of course.android-framework-23 is in bullseye. So I doublechecked, it is actually just a conflict with JDK17, due to the removal of com.sun.javadoc, which was deprecated in JDK11. JDK8 would cover that though.I have no idea how much work it'd be to port to the new API https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1011567 .hc
I dug a bit more: yes, some Android packages will not be in bookworm, but looks like the most important ones will not be affected by android-framework-23 being removed. I think some of the other team members reduced the reliance on that package recently, which I wasn't aware of.
