[\fIFILE\fR] .SH DESCRIPTION .\" TeX users may be more comfortable with the \fB\fP and .\" \fI\fP escape sequences to invode bold face and italics, .\" respectively. .PP \fBmake-jpkg\fP builds a Debian package from the given Java distribution FILE. .PP 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!) .PP The following options are recognized: .TP .B --full-name \fINAME\fR full name used in the maintainer field of the package .TP .B --email \fIEMAIL\fR email address used in the maintainer field of the package .TP .B --distribution \fIDISTRIBUTION\fR distribution to use in the debian changelog for the resulting package .TP .B --changes create a .changes file .TP .B --revision add debian revision .TP .B --source build a source package instead of a binary deb package .TP .B --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. .TP .B --help display help text and exit .TP .B --version output version information and exit .PP Download a supported JRE, JDK, API tar.gz or self-extracting archive from .B http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads and execute .B make-jpkg .I file with the downloaded file. The program asks the user for additional information and builds a Debian binary package in the current directory. .PP The program requires about 200 MB free disk space in a temporary directory. The temporary directory defaults to .I /tmp but you can specify an alternate directory by setting the environment variable \fITMPDIR\fR. .SH EXAMPLE To install Oracle(TM) 7 Standard Edition JDK, download a release - 64 bits version of update 2 from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u2-download-1377129.html in this example - and invoke make-jpkg: .IP make-jpkg /jdk-7u2-linux-x64.tar.gz .PP This generate a Debian package in the current directory, that can be installed using dpkg: .IP dpkg \-i oracle-java7-jdk_7u2_amd64.deb .PP When you're done, you can delete initial download as well as generated package: .IP rm /jdk-7u2-linux-x64.tar.gz oracle-java7-jdk_7u2_amd64.deb .PP .SH ENVIRONMENT .TP .SM TMPDIR base directory used for temporary files (defaults to /tmp) .TP .SM 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. .TP .SM 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. .SH SEE ALSO .BR update-java-alternatives(1) .SH AUTHOR This manual page was written by Hubert Schmid .
