The replacements are Eclipse Temurin and IBM Semeru builds. Temurin +JREs and non-x86_64 architectures are not yet available upstream, but will be +added as they become available. IBM Semeru has JREs and JDKs available for all +AdoptOpenJDK architectures, so may be an alternative, depending on your use. + +openj9-openjdk also appears to be changing name to IBM Semeru. IBM messaging +is not clear on this subject, but it seems that OpenJ9 will retain its name, +but the combination of openj9-openjdk and openj9 will now be called IBM +Semeru. If this holds, dev-java/openj9-openjdk will likely be moved to +dev-java/semeru. If that happens, a package move will be used, so no end-user +action should be necessary. -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
