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 keystore,
(/etc/ssl/certs/java/cacerts) which is managed automatically 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 execute
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
directory. 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-downloads-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 oracle-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-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org" is used.
