Hello<br>
<br>
Here are two ideas that I would like to propose (and would like to
mentor)<br>
<br>
1) Switch Debian to OpenJDK 7 and test with OpenJDK 8.<br>
There are still some works to be done in term of fixing packages,
upgrading the upstream package, etc.<br>
In the meantime, if we have time, I would like to work with the
student on the OpenJDK 8 and a potential rebuild (using the Amazon
cloud and the Debian account).<br>
<br>
2) The second idea would be to perform a full rebuild of the Debian
archive using scan-build.<br>
scan-build is a static C/C++ & Objective-C analyzer integrated
with clang. Basically, it can find bugs that a compiler cannot find.<br>
Here is a result of an analysis:<br>

<br>
Of course, this would not be one shot. It should be automatized and
should be linked against the current effort on firehorse.<br>
