> Yeah, sorry, the openjdk situation sucks. It's an "extra" package, which means the maintainer is a community member rather than being part of the Arch core group. This is incorrect. Packages in both core and extra are maintained by the core Arch developers. You're probably thinking of the community repository, which is maintained by a group called Trusted Users. These are still heavily vetted, it's not just anyone from the community. Or maybe you're thinking of the AUR, which is a completely untrusted repository of build scripts, which anyone can submit to. In this case, the issue is that anthraxx, one of the Arch developers [1], has not updated many of their packages in some time. I don't know if a reason is known, but you might find something in the mailing list links someone else has posted. [1] https://archlinux.org/people/developers/ https://archlinux.org/people/developers/
