Pacman to automatically ask to replace openjdk6 with jdk7..., etc?

view full story
linux-howto

https://bbs.archlinux.org – I noticed that about the 'provides' line. The package openjdk6 provides "java-environment=6  java-runtime=6  java-runtime-headless=6" whereas to provide those same three things with Java7 you now need three packages instead of just one: jdk7-openjdk, jre7-openjdk, and jre7-openjdk-headless. Those three packages provide java-environment=7,  java-runtime=7, and  java-runtime-headless=7, respectively.The behavior I'm suggesting would be for pacman to recognize scenarios like in this case where one package can be "replaced" by three packages.

Changing from openjdk to jre 27 weeks 6 days ago

I am new to Arch and this is my first post.  I formerly used kubuntu.  I am having trouble with the simple command "yaourt -S jre".  I get the following output:looking for inter-conflicts... :: jre and jre7-openjdk are in conflict (java-runtime). Remove jre7-openjdk? [y/N] y :: jre and jre7-openjdk-headless are in conflict (java-runtime-headless).

I have installed all 3, but the relevant line (as in my original post) is:package_jdk7-openjdk() { pkgdesc="Free Java environment based on OpenJDK 7.0 with IcedTea7 replacing binary plugs - SDK" depends=('jre7-openjdk') provides=('java-environment=7') conflicts=('java-environment') # replaces=('openjdk6')This seems to stop it being recog

Java $CLASSPATH in f17 50 weeks 1 day ago

The $CLASSPATH variable is not set by default in f17.

What path should I give in my .bash_profile for this variable?

Did you check the provides for the ccr package?  Libreoffice is build with a dep on "java-runtime", which in  the repo's calls for openjdk, but the ccr package is fine to use too, IF it has that provides line too.Try rebuilding your ccr package and adding the needed provides=('java-runtime'), if that fixes the issue, leave a note for the ccr maintainter to correc

I recently installed Sun's Java because of performance issues running Minecraft.

When I try to remove the OpenJDK packages by

sudo apt-get purge openjdk*

however, the JDownloader package is being removed as well. If I try to remove all OpenJDK-7 packages one by one, OpenJDK-6 is being installed instead.

IMHO there should be a way to satisfy JDownloader's dependencies for a Java runtime environ
