Re: changing the java default to java7, and dropping java support for some architectures

2013-05-23 Thread peter green
:-) I'm one who asked there some time back why java7 is no longer in the archives (unstable/experimental), while the last binaries I had installed still work OK on my mini-pc... I'm just curious, sorry for asking to the lists... I want to understand if the mini-pc is still a low performance de

Thanks niels for the speedy fix to armhf/sh4/powerpcspe issues in java-arch.sh. Unfortunately i've just spotted another issue on s390x the location of libjvm.so seems to be /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-s390x/jre/lib/s390x/server However java-arch.sh appears to (from looking at the code and lo

The name of the jre/lib/ directory is unconnected to DEB_HOST_ARCH; On interesting architectures* the full name of the directory is armel: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-armel/jre/lib/arm/server armhf: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-armhf/jre/lib/arm/server powerpc:/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk-powerpc

java architecture names and armhf/sh4

2012-01-17 Thread peter green
While looking at armhf build failures I took a look at uwsgi I determined it was failing on armel, armhf, sh4 and powerpc due to using incorrect paths for java stuff (it's also failing on ia64 and alpha for what appears to be unrelated reasons). Specifically it was seting the following paths.

2008-10-30 Thread peter green
It is preferred to build the bytecode so that it runs on older jvms. This is done passing '-source 1.[45]' to javac (or for cdbs ant tasks setting ANT_OPTS to -Dant.build.javac.source=1.[45]. are you sure, the javac manpage only states that option affects the version the source is assumed to be

I can't believe you're actually arguing that the solution against blindly trusting a website is blindly trusting a binary blob. I would rather use a secure free plugin than a secure non-free plugin, but apparently that doesn't exist. Since the choice is between a secure non-free plugin and an i

No Idea, but I'm happy to accept suggestions / patches for javahelper to do these things if it is helpful. Surely though you don't need to use the path to these directly? The JRE/JDK should deal with that What about apps like jcc (the app where I submitted and had accepted a patch that use DE

is there a correct way to get the name of the architecture for java, that is the ??? in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/???/object files>. In the last package I fixed up that needed to know I used DEB_BUILD_ARCH_CPU and special cased powerpc but I can't help feeling that is a bit of a dirty

I have also discovered that the plugin package that icedtea builds is uninstallable if the plugin directories don't exist (which will happen unless the user has every supported browser installed), a new postinst that fixes this issue is attatched. #!/bin/sh -e PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
