[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #60527] Warnings during compilation and test errors with gcc 11

[Michael Godfrey]

Follow-up Comment #18, bug #60527 (project octave):

fc34 contains java 8 and java 11 components. This may be part of the problem.
However, the following is worth noting:

>From The Register
(https://www.theregister.com/2021/04/27/fedora_34_released_fabio_valentini_quits/):

============================================================
Spoiling the celebrations, Fedora's main Java package maintainer Fabio
Valentini said yesterday: "I can no longer in good conscience be the primary
maintainer of (most) Java packages in Fedora."

It is worse than that; in a post entitled "The Death of Java (packages)" he
said "new versions and even security issues have been piling up for months,"
that "Java package maintainers from Red Hat have been exceptionally unhelpful,
and have not substantially contributed to Java packages in Fedora in years,"
that the Eclipse Java-based IDE (the packages for which are maintained by
someone else) is a "dumpster fire" and that "I see no way for the situation to
improve."
=====================================================

In any case, it will take someone with substantial java skills to resolve the
current fc34 java problems. These are mainly apparent lack of some features.
The features may be present in java-11 but just not found.
