I think this has lees to do with the OpenJDK team and more to do with the part of the Docker team and/or community that maintain this repo and not pulling correct release versions.

I knew someone who worked at Gradle and noticed how RedHat did all their own gradle packaging that broke everything they had in their offical rpms and spec files.

Some projects like Elastic Search maintain their own v2 repos on their own domain (all there's are mirrored on Docker hub but their docs point to their own repo) and other projects have official Docker hub accounts (like Jenkins).

I'm guessing the right solution might be Docker hub working with the OpenJDK guys so they maintain their own organization on Docker hub and integrate building and pushing to it from their own CI.



It's an age old problem. Upstreams were complaining (legitimately) about how Linux distributions would (re)package their software and break it along the way 20 years ago. Broken packages in Docker being pulled from Debian is no surprise, it was ever thus.
