Package: java-package Version: 0.51~exp1 Severity: minor File: /usr/bin/make-jpkg
Hallo, I have manually installed this version of java-package (from experimental) in my Debian stable environment. to be able to install the oracle java JDK in a debian way on my machine. The packages generated by make-jpkg are oracle-java6-jdk (version: 6.38) and oracle-java7-jdk (version: 7.10). The package names contain only the major java version numbers, not the build numbers. Installing those packages results however in the directories /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6.38-oracle-x64 and /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-7.10-oracle-x64. The problem is that every time a new version of the JDK is installed, it will be installed in a new directory. This means that after every update, I will have to review and update all the references to the JDK directory. I case there are a lot of references or a lot of users defining the directory name in there own profile, an update will result into a broken system. My sugestion is to remove the build number from the directory name e.g.: /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6-oracle-x64 and /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-7-oracle-x64. An other option (which I don't like) would be to provide a symbolic link named /usr/lib/jvm/jdk-6-oracle-x64 to the full directory name.
