Description
After discussion of #1077
This issue is required to discuss whether the debian package builds for a particular version of JDK, e.g. JDK21, should provide all the definitions ,
javaxx-sdk
javaxx-sdk-headless
javaxx-runtime
For all previous versions, e.g JDK21, provides all of the above for all versions of JDK prior to and including JDK21.
The rpm packages by way of comparison provide only the JDK versionless and JDK21 equivalents.
Contributor guide
Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing issue #1077 and comparing the Debian package Provides definitions with the RPM behavior described here; done means the intended versioned and versionless Provides policy is agreed and documented clearly enough to guide an implementation.
