Upgrade CollecTor to Debian buster libraries

We'll need to upgrade CollecTor to Debian buster libraries, though we should first finish the metrics-base review in #31194 (moved).

Are we going to have a version change for metrics-lib with the change in dependencies?

Replying to irl:

Are we going to have a version change for metrics-lib with the change in dependencies?

Great question! I had been thinking about this, too.

I believe that we don't have to put out a new metrics-lib release first and depend on that. We're using metrics-lib-2.6.2-thin.jar in CollecTor which doesn't contain any third-party libraries.

The reason why I didn't start the process of putting out a new metrics-lib release is that we should probably include the new Checkstyle version in that. Otherwise we'd have to put out a new release now and another one in a few days or weeks, depending on how long #25217 (moved) takes.

If you'd prefer putting out a metrics-lib release first, should we then focus on #25217 (moved) first and pause this one for the moment?

I don't think we need to. We just need to say in the CollecTor changelog which libraries have changed when we do a release.

I think that #25217 (moved) is resolved, we just need to watch out for the rebuilt jar to drop in once it appears.

Merged, together with a couple more new dependencies required for Checkstyle. Closing. Thanks!

Trac:
Resolution: N/A to fixed
Status: merge_ready to closed

As discussed on Thursday, I reverted these changes, because it turned out that updating dependencies manually doesn't scale anymore. We'll have to find another solution for all our code bases.

Trac:
Resolution: fixed to N/A
Status: closed to reopened

Closing all tickets related to Debian buster libraries, now that we're using Apache Ivy for external dependency management.

Status: reopened to closed
Resolution: N/A to wontfix
