| lifeless | is there any supported way to do an automated install of sun java without the licence prompt? | 00:54 |

| lifeless | \o/ | 00:55 |
| persia | wikis are wonderful things | 00:55 |
| persia | But don't do that unless you *really* must. default-jre and default-jdk are almost always preferable. | 00:56 |
| lifeless | except that there is a bundled and renamed class in sun-java6 | 00:57 |
| lifeless | that isn't like that in openjdk-java6 | 00:57 |
| lifeless | which makes openjdk-java6 buggered for a nontrivial number of apps | 00:57 |
| lifeless | I can dig up the bug # if you like | 00:58 |
| lifeless | http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=6876736 | 00:58 |
| persia | lifeless: Aha. I'd call that a bug in hudson, but YMMV :) | 01:02 |
| lifeless | hudson, openoffice, ... - depending on what sun shipped for years. | 01:03 |
| persia | Well, more deeply, it's probably a bug in Sun, but that's a different matter :) | 01:03 |
| lifeless | could argue it either way | 01:03 |
| persia | I'll always argue against code bundling. | 01:03 |
| lifeless | *cough CD image cough* | 01:03 |
| * persia wanders off, whistling innocently | 01:04 | |
| * lifeless waits for hudson to fire off another VM | 01:07 | |

| lifeless | persia: http://rbtcollins.wordpress.com/2010/02/11/using-uec-instead-of-ec2/ is what I needed the sun java workaround for | 20:49 |
| persia | lifeless: Cool. I do suggest you add a note that indicates that you should really read the Sun license prior to adding the debconf hint. | 20:52 |
| persia | Because adding that is considered equivalent to accepting the license, which is a bit questionable if one hasn't read it. | 20:53 |
| persia | (not that everyone reads licenses, but people should at least have to pretend they have done so) | 20:53 |
| lifeless | you should see what hudson (a sun product) does :> | 20:53 |
| lifeless | it just batch installs a copy from s3 | 20:53 |
| persia | Yeah, well. | 20:54 |
| persia | Something I learned when working with Sun in other areas is that different bits of Sun don't always talk to each other as well as one might hope. | 20:54 |
| persia | But I understand that had been improving, although the current news seems to contain lots of uncertainty. | 20:55 |
| lifeless | :> | 20:56 |
| persia | Anyway, as with everything else, when wearing "Ubuntu" hats, we do best at helping that integration happen even if upstreams aren't doing it themselves. | 20:59 |
| lifeless | :) | 21:00 |
| lifeless | one can argue that ignoring unenforcable things is a good idea. I'm not sure it is. | 21:01 |
| lifeless | I've added a reply noting that there was some sleight of hand there. | 21:01 |
| persia | Yeah, the idea was just to avoid confusion. | 21:02 |
| rzr | persia: hi | 21:34 |
| rzr | i just saw that you built swt | 21:34 |
| persia | rzr: Yep. | 21:34 |
| rzr | I am waiting at it to rebuild tuxguitar | 21:34 |
| rzr | when will it be uploaded | 21:35 |
| rzr | seems the build is over now | 21:35 |
| persia | It's been uploaded. | 21:35 |
| * persia checks if it's stuck | 21:35 | |
| rzr | published i mean | 21:35 |
| rzr | Note: Some binary packages for this source are not yet published in the repository. | 21:35 |
| persia | Yeah, it's caught in binary NEW. I'll bug an archive-admin in a bit. Maybe 3-5 hours, if I'm lucky. | 21:35 |
| rzr | ok | 21:36 |
| rzr | thx | 21:36 |
| rzr | last question | 21:36 |
| rzr | why +versionbump ? | 21:36 |
| rzr | it's unclear for me | 21:37 |
| rzr | upstream debian one never went into archive , did it ? | 21:37 |
| rzr | https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/swt-gtk/+bug/519994 | 21:38 |
| rzr | ok | 21:38 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 519994 in swt-gtk "Please unblacklist swt-gtk from the autosync" [Undecided,New] | 21:38 |
| persia | rzr: I tried to get Debian synced, but it ended up blacklisted. | 21:51 |
| persia | Adding +versionbump let it be accepted, and that bug unblacklists. | 21:51 |
| persia | We should be able to be in sync with the next new upstream. | 21:51 |
| persia | The issue was just leftovers from when eclipse was providing swt. | 21:52 |
