Subject: [Buildroot] [PATCH 3/3] Config.in: remove BR2_NEEDS_HOST_JAVA
Date: Thu, 9 Apr 2026 20:40:48 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260409184048.3180731-3-bernd@kuhls.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260409184048.3180731-1-bernd@kuhls.net>
Buildroot commit aac3d2b402fd2b8b91f125cf9314f4805b88f72a added a hidden
boolean option that packages which depend on java on the host can select.
Since buildroot commit 5366b8f734fe7aff7e95c1f92627265c5a75becc we can
provide our own host-openjdk-bin package.
Kodi previously used BR2_NEEDS_HOST_JAVA but was switched to host-open-
jdk-bin in this series.
The option BR2_NEEDS_HOST_JAVA is now unused and can be removed.
