| the_darkside_986 | Installing NetBeans has messed up my sun-java6-* installations by replacing things with openjdk. How do I "purify" my installation and still keep NetBeans? | 04:33 |
|---|---|---|
| the_darkside_986 | for example, the java interpreter was replaced by openjdk, which fails miserably trying to run my NetBeans project outside of Netbeans. | 04:34 |
| persia | the_darkside_986: I seem to remember some issue with NetBeans and sun-java6-*. I think there was a newer library in OpenJDK that was required (but don't remember the details). | 04:34 |
| persia | You might be able to fake it by adjusting the dependencies, but no guarantees it will work. | 04:35 |
| the_darkside_986 | that is odd. right now I am reinstalling sun-java6-bin in hopes that the correct java binary executable will be replaced. | 04:36 |
| * persia thought update-alternatives would be an easier path | 04:37 | |
| the_darkside_986 | ? | 04:40 |
| the_darkside_986 | it is still using the wrong executable. | 04:41 |
| the_darkside_986 | still i don't see how NetBeans is successfully running this. The correct java must be on the system somewhere. | 04:43 |
| the_darkside_986 | ok I found it under /usr/lib/jvm/sun-whatever, but i am afraid to overwrite the openjdk symlink with the "correct" one. is it safe to do that? i mean netbeans has been using Sun's so... | 04:46 |
| dholbach | good morning | 07:01 |
| man-di | dholbach: moin, I hope it was okay to keep you on CC for now | 07:11 |
| dholbach | man-di: sure | 07:11 |
| man-di | dholbach: you dont know where doko is lost? I need an upload from him. | 07:13 |
| dholbach | man-di: I hope Benjamin won't back off from the challenges of Java packaging :-) | 07:14 |
| dholbach | man-di: he's in Canada for one reason or the other (forgot) | 07:14 |
| dholbach | man-di: what kind of upload is it? | 07:14 |
| man-di | dholbach: do you know what knowledge he has of packaging? did i put too hard stuff into the mail? | 07:14 |
| man-di | gcc-defaults upload to Debian to make classpath work again | 07:15 |
| dholbach | man-di: as far as I can see he's very keen, but doesn't have years of packaging experience - he doesn't seem afraid to figure things out | 07:15 |
| dholbach | studies CS in Berlin | 07:15 |
| dholbach | man-di: sorry, I can't help you with gcc-defaults upload :-/ | 07:16 |
| dholbach | man-di: I reckon doko might be up in just a few hours | 07:16 |
| man-di | I know | 07:16 |
| man-di | dholbach: so far all people that wanted to provide help vanished when hitting the first problem | 07:17 |
| man-di | dholbach: and most people just like to complain instead of doing help | 07:17 |
| man-di | dholbach: see launchpad eclipse bug reports | 07:18 |
| dholbach | man-di: I'll push him to ask his questions here | 07:18 |
| dholbach | he figured out some other packaging problems before | 07:18 |
| man-di | dholbach: better in #debian-java on irc.debian.org | 07:18 |
| robilad | dholbach: thanks! | 11:51 |
| robilad | man-di: thanks for the feedback, I agree that we need a single mapping | 11:52 |
| man-di | robilad: the final packages dont need to be the same, but the way to map is the same | 11:56 |
| man-di | robilad: different distros have different package name policies | 11:56 |
| robilad | yeah | 11:58 |
| robilad | that's why I think dholbach's java packaging wiki etc. could be a useful start. with tinuviel's tracking information, etc. | 11:58 |
| man-di | java packaging wiki? tinuviel's tracking information? | 12:53 |
