MAKE-JPKG(1) General Commands Manual MAKE-JPKG(1)
NAME
make-jpkg - builds Debian packages from Java binary distributions
SYNOPSIS
make-jpkg [OPTION]... [FILE]
DESCRIPTION
make-jpkg builds a Debian package from the given Java distribution
FILE.
Supported java binary distributions currently include:
* Oracle (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads) :
- The Java Development Kit (JDK), version 6, 7 and 8
- The Java Runtime Environment (JRE), version 6, 7 and 8
- The Java API Javadoc, version 6, 7 and 8
(Choose tar.gz archives or self-extracting archives, do _not_ choose
the RPM!)
The following options are recognized:
--full-name NAME
full name used in the maintainer field of the package
--email EMAIL
email address used in the maintainer field of the package
--distribution DISTRIBUTION
distribution to use in the debian changelog for the resulting
package
--priority PRIORITY
numeric priority for use by update-alternatives. This overrides
the default priority, which is intentionally lower than that of
the Debian-provided OpenJDK packages. Only use this option if
the generated package should be considered higher priority by
update-alternatives.
--changes
create a .changes file
--revision
add debian revision
--source
build a source package instead of a binary deb package
--with-system-certs
Replace the JVMs keystore with a softlink to the system's key-
store, (/etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts) which is managed automati-
cally by the ca-certificates and ca-certificates-java packages.
--jce-policy JCE_POLICY_FILE
Replace cryptography files with versions from the specified
JCE_POLICY_FILE.
--help display help text and exit
--version
output version information and exit
Download a supported JRE, JDK, API tar.gz or self-extracting archive
from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads and exe-
cute make-jpkg file with the downloaded file. The program asks the user
for additional information and builds a Debian binary package in the
current directory.
The program requires about 400 MB free disk space in a temporary direc-
tory. The temporary directory defaults to /tmp but you can specify an
alternate directory by setting the environment variable TMPDIR.
EXAMPLE
To install Oracle(TM) 8 Standard Edition JDK, download a release from
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-down-
loads-2133151.html and invoke make-jpkg, for example:
make-jpkg <path_to_download_directory>/jdk-8u102-linux-
x64.tar.gz
This generate a Debian package in the current directory, that can be
installed using dpkg:
dpkg -i oracle-java8-jdk_8u102_amd64.deb
When you're done, you can delete initial download as well as generated
package:
rm <path_to_download_directory>/jdk-8u102-linux-x64.tar.gz ora-
cle-java8-jdk_8u102_amd64.deb
ENVIRONMENT
TMPDIR base directory used for temporary files (defaults to /tmp)
J2SE_PACKAGE_FULL_NAME
full name used in the maintainer field of the package; if none
is supplied then the default of "Debian Java Maintainers" is
used.
J2SE_PACKAGE_EMAIL
email address used in the maintainer field of the package; if
none is supplied the default of "pkg-java-maintain-
ers@lists.alioth.debian.org" is used.
