Description

 [1:1.8.0.502.b07-1.1.0.1]
 - Add Oracle vendor bug URL [Orabug: 34340155]

 [1:1.8.0.502.b07-1.1]
 - Update to 8u502-b07 (GA).
 - Update release notes for 8u502-b07.
 - Bump lcms2 version to 2.19.1 following JDK-8321489, JDK-8348110, JDK-8375065 & JDK-8383354
 - Bump zlib version to 1.3.2 following JDK-8378631
 - Require tzdata 2026b due to upstream inclusion of JDK-8383175
 - Add attempted patch for JDK-8385876 to fix -Wnonnull build failure with s390x Zero on CentOS 9
 - Remove macro references in comments where possible (%dnl not compatible enough yet)
 - Move version information and core NVR definitions back towards the top of the file
 - Explictly define supported architectures
 - Specify portablerelease and rpmrelease (always 0 for portables) in the Release field
 - Make zone string debug output optional in TestTranslations
 - Change javadoc-zip to just own the top-level directory, not include the entire subtree
 - Update tagged versions to include 9.8.0-z & 9.9.0.
 - Cleanup tagging and gating scripts to appease shellcheck:
 - * scripts/builds/build_vanilla.sh: Use an array to handle the varying arguments to rhpkg.
 - * scripts/builds/check_signatures.sh: Quote variable usage.
 - * scripts/builds/waive_issue.sh: Remove redundant 'test 'x'' usage.
 - * scripts/builds/waive_leapp_issue.sh: Likewise.
 - * scripts/builds/waive_rpminspect.sh: Likewise.
 - * scripts/builds/waive_usual_rpminspect.sh: Likewise and add missing WORKING_DIR variable.
 - * scripts/builds/waive_usual_tier0.sh: Remove redundant 'test 'x'' usage.
 - Obsolete old RHEL releases (8.2.0-z, 9.0.0-z, 9.7.0-z)
 - Sync the copy of the portable specfile with the latest update
 - Sync portable naming with later JDKs, due to adoption of <compatiblename> by portable
 - Drop <pversion> which is a redundant alias for version now
 - Update tagging scripts to include signature checks and correctly handle gating
 - Add gating scripts to simplify obtaining results and waiving issues
 - ** This tarball is embargoed until 2026-07-21 @ 1pm PT. **
