when moving from 6.4 to 6.5 (the recent update)
I am seeing a 'hands-off' upgrade break due to neo4j being
(probably improperly) tied to a specific Java version
Error: Package: neo4j-1.9-0.1.M05.orc6.noarch (installed)
Requires: java7 >= 1:1.7.0
Removing: 1:java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.45-2.4.3.2.el6_4.x86_64
(@updates)
java7 = 1:1.7.0
Updated By: 1:java-1.7.0-openjdk-1.7.0.45-2.4.3.3.el6.x86_64 (base)
Not found
[herrold@centos-6 6]$ find -name "neo4j*"
./assimilation/neo4j-1.9-0.1.M05.orc6.src.rpm
./assimilation/attic/neo4j-1.9-0.1.M05.fc18.src.rpm
./assimilation/attic/neo4j-1.9-0.1.M05.orc6.src.rpm
[herrold@centos-6 6]$ pwd
/home/herrold/build/6
[herrold@centos-6 6]$
so I pulled a neo4j froma recent Fedora and built it, and the
.spec file therein is probably Java NEVR locked as a hardcoded
dependency (a common Fedora packaging mistake to see --
over-use of such)
[herrold@centos-6 6]$ rpmno.sh
./assimilation/neo4j-1.9-0.1.M05.orc6.src.rpm
info: extracted ~/rpmbuild/SPECS/neo4j.spec
next: edit neo4j.spec and then:
rpmbuild -ba neo4j.spec
-or-:
rph-rpmbuild -ba neo4j.spec
[herrold@centos-6 6]$ ls *spec
neo4j.spec
[herrold@centos-6 6]$ grep quires neo4j.spec
Requires: java7 >= 1:1.7.0
Requires: jpackage-utils >= 0:1.7.3
Requires: java >= 1:1.7.0
Requires: jpackage-utils >= 0:1.7.3
[herrold@centos-6 6]$
yuck ... and it is a huge update

... investigating a fix
