Hi, eb Java-1.8.0_31.eb
Fails Reading the easyconfig source code, I see it advises “# download the tar.gz directly from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html“ So I download it (following http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10268583/how-to-automate-download-and-installation-of-java-jdk-on-linux) as: wget -P ${PREFIX}/source/j/Java/ --no-check-certificate --no-cookies --header "Cookie: oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u31-b13/jdk-8u31-linux-x64.tar.gz and the eb now succeeds. Yay. But, surely this should not persist. Something must be done! Perhaps by me!?! Presumably the challenge is the check box which is opaque to the easybuild framework, and what is needed is to get such a header declared in the Java*.eb and contrive for it to be passed down. Something like: - change filetools.py download_file(*) to - accept a new parameter, namely, headers={} - change the call to urlopen as: url_fd = urllib2.urlopen(urllib2.Request(url, headers=headers), timeout=timeout) - give EasyBlock a new instance variable, say, source_url_headers - modify the Java*.eb to include: source_url_headers=[{"Cookie: oraclelicense" : "accept-securebackup-cookie"}] I think this should work and am willing to “cut my teeth” on this project with this small set of changes if y’all agree it is a good approach to this problem. Do you? Thanks ~ Malcolm Cook
