Hi Arne, With this mail I am turning your mail into a bug report (maintainers, please see below). If your reportbug silently fails, it may be because the STMP settings for it are wrong. You can still report bugs by using the mail interface (like I am now) or alternatively, contact one of the Debian support channels for help with checking the settings. ~Niels -------- Original Message -------- Subject: java-package: for jdk provide alternative to bin/java rather than jre/bin/java Date: Tue, 29 Oct 2013 20:08:28 +0100 From: arne anka <deb...@ginguppin.de> To: pkg-java-maintain...@lists.alioth.debian.org since for some reason my reportbug sumission seems not to go through (at least i never get a confirmation), below the text again Subject: java-package: for jdk provide alternative to bin/java rather than jre/bin/java Package: java-package Version: 0.53 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, when creating a deb package from the JDK there should be a (and probably the default one) pointing to bin/java (and all other tools) rather than jre/bin/java. firstly, a JDK is usually installed to be used as JDK not a JRE (else one would use the JRE to begin with). secondly, Eclipse/ANT continually complaints about the java exec not being from an JDK, preventing the use of the same JRE as Eclipse uses and thus a several features requiring ANT to use the same java as Eclipse does. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.10-3-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_DK.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_DK.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages java-package depends on: ii debhelper 9.20130921 ii fakeroot 1.20-1 ii libasound2 1.0.27.2-3 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-1 ii unzip 6.0-10 Versions of packages java-package recommends: ii dpkg-dev 1.17.1 ii gcc 4:4.8.1-3 Versions of packages java-package suggests: pn openjdk-6-jre <none> pn openjdk-7-jre <none> -- debconf information: * java-package/postinst-note: __ This is the maintainer address of Debian's Java team <http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-java-maintainers>.
