| kaushal | Hi persia | 05:50 |
| persia | Hey kaushal. What's up? | 06:23 |
| kaushal | persia: sorry was away | 06:42 |
| persia | No worries :) | 06:43 |
| kaushal | As per https://wiki.kubuntu.org/PackagingGuide/Recipes/PackageUpdate it says Get the new source. | 06:43 |
| persia | Right. | 06:43 |
| kaushal | where do i get the new source for sun-java6-jdk u26 | 06:43 |
| persia | So, if you look at the bug, there are some places to download it. | 06:43 |
| kaushal | ok | 06:43 |
| persia | We don't have the source code, but you can get the material from which the package was generated. | 06:43 |
| persia | Just try to get something that is similar to the results of unpacking the current source package, except updated., | 06:44 |
| persia | Most of the time, debian/copyright explains where to get the source. | 06:44 |
| persia | If you get stuck, let me know, and I'll take a look. | 06:44 |
| kaushal | you can get the material from which the package was generated. | 06:45 |
| kaushal | not sure i understand that | 06:45 |
| kaushal | I have source of java6 u24 | 06:45 |
| persia | So, we have two kinds of packages. "Source" packages and "Binary" packages. | 06:45 |
| kaushal | so i should get source of java6 u26 ? | 06:45 |
| persia | "Source" packages are used to generate "Binary" packages. | 06:45 |
| persia | When working with packages for which we don't have the real source code (like sun-java6), we put binary files in the "Source" package. | 06:46 |
| persia | So, I assume you got the "source" of java6 u24 by apt-get source or similar? | 06:48 |
| kaushal | yes | 06:48 |
| persia | If you look at the files, you'll notice that some of them are already compiled. | 06:49 |
| persia | You want to download the corresponding files from u26, which probably means getting the entire package of u26 from Oracle, and then moving stuff about. | 06:49 |
| persia | Sometimes there are instructions in the get-orig-source: rule in debian/rules, but often there aren't. | 06:49 |
| kaushal | ok | 07:08 |
| kaushal | persia: i dont see java6 u26 here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-6u26-download-400750.html | 07:15 |
| kaushal | I mean souce package | 07:15 |
| persia | Right. Oracle doesn't make the source code available. | 07:17 |
| persia | They only distribute binaries. | 07:17 |
| persia | The binaries are put into the "source" package in Ubuntu. | 07:17 |
| persia | Oh. Seems that starting from lucid, the package moved from Ubuntu into the Canonical partner archive. | 07:20 |
| persia | My apologies: I should have checked this before. | 07:20 |
| persia | We can't fix it :( We need to wait for Canonical to fix it. | 07:20 |
| persia | So, let's change the goal: let's make it work *for you* :) | 07:20 |
| persia | So, I grabbed the source package of version "6.24-1build0.9.10.1" | 07:21 |
| persia | Unpacking that, and looking in there, I see a directory "debian" and two files "jdk-6u24-dlj-linux-amd64.bin" and "jdk-6u24-dlj-linux-i586.bin" | 07:22 |
| persia | You just want to replace those with files downloaded from Sun, and rebuild. | 07:23 |
| persia | I've also just downloaded the Debian package (well, not really Debian, because it's non-free, but designed for Debian) | 07:24 |
| persia | It seems to already have the u26 files from Sun. | 07:24 |
| persia | So, to solve the problem *FOR YOU*, grab the source package from Debian. | 07:24 |
| persia | Then build it on your machine. | 07:25 |
| persia | Then install the resulting .deb files. | 07:25 |
| persia | To solve the problem for other folk, it needs to wait for Canonical. | 07:25 |
