| slytherin | ttx: In case you haven't noticed already, discussion regarding -gcj packages (recommends vs Suggests) on Debian Java ML is going in same direction as what we needed. :-) | 09:50 |
|---|---|---|
| ttx | slytherin: I didn't know that, that's good ! | 09:51 |
| ttx | I saw a few changes in packages that seem to indicate some relaxed policy :) | 09:51 |
| slytherin | Actually the discussion came up because of those changes. | 09:51 |
| BIDMAS | I'm packaging an application. JDK is a dependency. Specifically which package should I put as a dependency, and should it be in the pre-depends section? | 12:01 |
| slytherin | BIDMAS: Have you read the packaging policy? Are you familiar with meaning of various fields in debian/control file? | 12:02 |
| BIDMAS | slytherin: Thanks, motu just answered for me | 12:05 |
| persia | Well, yeah, but -motu answered less correctly :( | 12:06 |
| BIDMAS | Sorry about that | 12:08 |
| BIDMAS | Yes? | 12:08 |
| persia | BIDMAS: So, you were last asked " Have you read the packaging policy? Are you familiar with meaning of various fields in debian/control file?" | 12:18 |
| slytherin | I wasn't sure if (s)he was looking for build-depends or depends. That is the reason why I asked it. :-) | 12:26 |
| persia | And the same confusion appeared in MOTU, and was answered confusingly. | 12:27 |
| persia | But one needs to actually stay in the channel and answer questions if one wants answers. | 12:28 |
| BIDMAS | I need to put down JDK as a dependency. What's the best way to do so? | 12:47 |
| BIDMAS | (I know there are many different JDKs) | 12:47 |
| slytherin | BIDMAS: Is it a dependency or build-dependency? | 12:48 |
| BIDMAS | dependency | 12:49 |
| slytherin | BIDMAS: This should be added in debian/control file - Depends: default-jdk | java2-sdk | 12:50 |
| slytherin | BIDMAS: Or if you are confused paste your debian/control file on paste.ubuntu.com | 12:51 |
| BIDMAS | Thanks, I'll try a recompile with that | 12:51 |

| Guest87921 | how to install java from 15 to 18 version of ubuntu 9.10 | 19:09 |
| Guest87921 | help me >? | 19:09 |
| Guest87921 | ! | 19:09 |
| Guest87921 | ops | 19:09 |
| Guest87921 | :> | 19:09 |
| nthykier | Guest87921: What version are you talking about? | 19:10 |
| Guest87921 | java version "1.6.0_15" | 19:12 |
| Guest87921 | Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_15-b03) | 19:12 |
| Guest87921 | Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing) | 19:12 |
| Guest87921 | and..? | 19:12 |
| Guest87921 | nthykier, | 19:12 |
| nthykier | Right, that would be an implementation version... | 19:12 |
| persia | Guest87921: You might try backports. I don't think that b18 is going to be an SRU (although I may be mistaken~ | 19:13 |
| nthykier | vendor* | 19:13 |
| * persia is apparently confused, and agrees with nthykier : there's no clear answer, | 19:14 | |
| nthykier | We are talking about openjdk, right? | 19:14 |
| nthykier | It is the only java implementation I can remember that is in that version range these days | 19:15 |
| Guest87921 | why not the latest version repositories | 19:16 |
| persia | nthykier: I think it's sun-java6, personally. | 19:16 |
| persia | Guest87921: Nobody did the stable release update yet, probably. | 19:16 |
| persia | !sru | 19:16 |
| ubottu | Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates | 19:16 |
| persia | Guest87921: If you'd like to help, more hands are welcome. Most of us are focused on OpenJDK these days. | 19:17 |
| nthykier | Guest87921: if you want bleeding edge you should probably use Debian Unstable instead of Ubuntu (although it tends to break) | 19:17 |
| * nthykier personally very happy with running a testing | 19:17 | |
| nthykier | alternatively you could run Ubuntu 10.04 release, though it is not stable yet and may also break :P | 19:18 |
| persia | Of if you want similarly risky Ubuntu, running lucid is similar to testing right now. | 19:18 |
| persia | But if you want 9.10, you need to get sun-java6 applied as a stable update, which will take a while. | 19:18 |
| Guest87921 | what is the stable version of java on ubuntu 9.10 | 19:18 |
| persia | nthykier: Careful with numbers prior to release, for all the same reasons that squeeze doesn't have an official number yet. | 19:19 |
| nthykier | probably the one you have right now | 19:19 |
| nthykier | persia: right, my bad | 19:19 |
| persia | Looks like the best version for 9.10 us openjdk-6 6b16-1.6.1-3ubuntu1 | 19:20 |
| persia | s/us/is/ | 19:20 |
| persia | nthykier: No worries: because Ubuntu has easily predicted version numbers, it's an easy slip :) | 19:21 |
| nthykier | except when you do an .06 :P | 19:21 |
| persia | That only happened once, to great shame :) | 19:23 |
