[09:50] 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. :-) [09:51] slytherin: I didn't know that, that's good ! [09:51] I saw a few changes in packages that seem to indicate some relaxed policy :) [09:51] Actually the discussion came up because of those changes. [12:01] 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? [12:02] BIDMAS: Have you read the packaging policy? Are you familiar with meaning of various fields in debian/control file? [12:05] slytherin: Thanks, motu just answered for me [12:06] Well, yeah, but -motu answered less correctly :( [12:08] Sorry about that [12:08] Yes? [12:18] BIDMAS: So, you were last asked " Have you read the packaging policy? Are you familiar with meaning of various fields in debian/control file?" [12:26] I wasn't sure if (s)he was looking for build-depends or depends. That is the reason why I asked it. :-) [12:27] And the same confusion appeared in MOTU, and was answered confusingly. [12:28] But one needs to actually stay in the channel and answer questions if one wants answers. [12:47] I need to put down JDK as a dependency. What's the best way to do so? [12:47] (I know there are many different JDKs) [12:48] BIDMAS: Is it a dependency or build-dependency? [12:49] dependency [12:50] BIDMAS: This should be added in debian/control file - Depends: default-jdk | java2-sdk [12:51] BIDMAS: Or if you are confused paste your debian/control file on paste.ubuntu.com [12:51] Thanks, I'll try a recompile with that === hannesw__ is now known as hannesw [19:09] how to install java from 15 to 18 version of ubuntu 9.10 [19:09] help me >? [19:09] ! [19:09] ops [19:09] :> [19:10] Guest87921: What version are you talking about? [19:12] java version "1.6.0_15" [19:12] Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_15-b03) [19:12] Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 14.1-b02, mixed mode, sharing) [19:12] and..? [19:12] nthykier, [19:12] Right, that would be an implementation version... [19:13] Guest87921: You might try backports. I don't think that b18 is going to be an SRU (although I may be mistaken~ [19:13] vendor* [19:14] * persia is apparently confused, and agrees with nthykier : there's no clear answer, [19:14] We are talking about openjdk, right? [19:15] It is the only java implementation I can remember that is in that version range these days [19:16] why not the latest version repositories [19:16] nthykier: I think it's sun-java6, personally. [19:16] Guest87921: Nobody did the stable release update yet, probably. [19:16] !sru [19:16] Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [19:17] Guest87921: If you'd like to help, more hands are welcome. Most of us are focused on OpenJDK these days. [19:17] 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 [19:18] alternatively you could run Ubuntu 10.04 release, though it is not stable yet and may also break :P [19:18] Of if you want similarly risky Ubuntu, running lucid is similar to testing right now. [19:18] But if you want 9.10, you need to get sun-java6 applied as a stable update, which will take a while. [19:18] what is the stable version of java on ubuntu 9.10 [19:19] nthykier: Careful with numbers prior to release, for all the same reasons that squeeze doesn't have an official number yet. [19:19] probably the one you have right now [19:19] persia: right, my bad [19:20] Looks like the best version for 9.10 us openjdk-6 6b16-1.6.1-3ubuntu1 [19:20] s/us/is/ [19:21] nthykier: No worries: because Ubuntu has easily predicted version numbers, it's an easy slip :) [19:21] except when you do an .06 :P [19:23] That only happened once, to great shame :)
