--------------------------------------------
Summary: Remove openjdk-6-jre Cassandra APT dependencies
Key: CASSANDRA-4498
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4498
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Terrance Shepherd
Priority: Minor
As it is well known the recommended jre for Cassandra is sun java 1.6 but at
this point that package no longer in the debian or ubuntu apt repos. In order
to run Cassandra with the sun java 1.6 jre it must be installed manually with
out the repos. Because of this when you install cassandra via the apache or
datastax apt repos it must also install openjdk-6-jre even though sun java 1.6
jre is already installed.
I would suggest that the java apt dependencies be removed from the Depends
field in package configuration and move to either the Recommends or Suggests
field so that way openjdk is not being downloaded when not necessary and
possibly interfering with a be pre-installed jre
