Hi,
I recently learned that I should configure an openjdk build with an
empty
-with-version-pre string, and with any package information stuffed
into the
--with-version-opt argument.
--with-version-pre='' --with-version-opt='Debian-9.0.1+11-1'
9.0.1+11 is what I call the upstream version, directly derived from
the tag in
the mercurial repository. The part after the dash is the packaging
release and
gets incremented when more than upload to the distribution is based
on the same
upstream version.
However using that I get
configure: WARNING: --with-version-opt value has been sanitized from
'Debian-9.0.1+11-1' to 'Debian-9.0.111-1'
which makes the version string somehow cryptic. Why is there a
reason that the
version string is mangled? Is there a recommendation how to form
the version
for a source release?
$ java -version
openjdk version "9.0.1"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 9.0.1+0-Debian-9.0.111-1)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 9.0.1+0-Debian-9.0.111-1, mixed mode)
Omar suggested on irc to use
--with-version-pre='' --with-version-build=11
--with-version-opt='Debian.1
however that will lead to 9.0.1+11-Debian.1, which doesn't match the
package
version either. It looks like this whole versioning schema is only
fit for
upstream builds, and doesn't address any versioning in the downstream
builds.
Maybe I'm missing something, but how can I include the string
Debian-9.0.1+11-1
into that build information?
Unfortunately, you can't. JEP 223 specifices what a valid Java version
string looks like: http://openjdk.java.net/jeps/223
I believe your intention is correct to add the distribution versioning
to the "opt" part, but that is limited to containing ([-a-zA-Z0-9\.]+)
according to JEP 223, so it cannot contain a "+". (This is due to the
fact that "+" has a special meaning as the build prefix, and without
this restriction, version strings could become ambigious to parse.
If you want the full version number repeated in the opt string, I
recommend replacing the "+" with a "-".
Otherwise I'd recommend Omar's suggestion. I believe that was the
intention of the JEP 223 design. It will contain the version number of
the JDK, the build number, and the additional (opt) part saying that
this is a Debian build, with a Debian-specific version numbering of 1.
