I'm not sure, however, why jdk13 being restricted stops 'irc/pircbot' from being distributed? jdk13 is only required for running pircbot - it isn't used to compile it because pircbot is distributed by the author as a precompiled jar file. Incidently, it used to be packaged, but I'm guessing this is because it used to depend on jdk11 (but jdk11 broke because of the compat3x port being forbidden, I think). Cheers, Tim.
