Java 8 packages for Debian.
orginal can be founde at: https://github.com/rraptorr/oracle-java8 This repository only supports amd64 builds. The prepare steps has been included in the main debian buildpackage script Has been successfully tested with Jenkins+jenkins-debian-glue+cowbuilder
So far packages were tested on following Debian versions:
- stretch amd64
- jessie amd64
- wheezy amd64
I do not have resources to test packages on Ubuntu. However, if one finds any problem on Ubuntu, feel free to report an issue and I will try to resolve it.
To create packages on your own:
- apt-get install debhelper curl unzip
- git clone git:https://github.com/rraptorr/oracle-java8.git
- cd oracle-java8
- sh ./prepare.sh
- dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us
- install any missing packages that dpkg-buildpackage complains about and repeat
Oracle does not permit to distribute repackaged binaries of Java, so be advised that hosting any public repository with Java packages is probably illegal (at least in some parts of the world).
On the other hand, this repository contains only scripts, that allows one to repackage Oracle Java in Debian friendly way. No binaries are or will be hosted.
