[Bug 477812] Re: Security update for Sun Java JRE 6: update 17
To Ubuntu: please see this also in the perspective of people like me who use tomcat with sun-java6. I do not really care about the browser plugin, but for java app-hosting in tomcat it is important to have a *sun* jvm, since openjdk is not on par yet. -- Security update for Sun Java JRE 6: update 17 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477812 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs

@ Pjotr12345 Thanks. There are also other possibiliyies: - use java-package (http://wiki.debian.org/JavaPackage) and create deb package yourself - created packages are other than those supplied by ubuntu and debian (there is only one big package for whole JDK) - install packages from debian sid - 6u17 is already published: http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=sidsearchon=nameskeywords=sun-java6 - I didn't try this way this time, but I have successfully installed sun-java6 packages from debian earlier. -- Security update for Sun Java JRE 6: update 17 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477812 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs

[Bug 477812] Re: Security update for Sun Java JRE 6: update 17
I will redirect my thanks, then: thank you, Matthias Klose! This is how I tested this update: - I removed my manual installation of 6u17, by deleting /opt/java - then I installed 6u16 from the repo's - then I turned on proposed - then I updated to 6u17 After that, I played a game of online chess on Yahoo Games, in Epiphany- browser. I've only tested through the browser plugin, therefore. I also used Frostwire, but that particular app uses OpenJDK under the hood, I think, because I downloaded the adapted Frostwire deb from getdeb.net. Am I correct in assuming that only Hardy LTS will get this JRE update, and not the other current Ubuntu versions? -- Security update for Sun Java JRE 6: update 17 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/477812 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list universe-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs

@Jamie Strandboge: thanks for responding! Unfortunately I don't have the skills for building packages. All I could do was publish an instruction for manual installation of the latest JRE (available on the Sun website), in English and in Dutch: English: http://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/java Dutch: http://sites.google.com/site/computertip/java I know about the formal policy for JRE, as we discussed a previous security update for JRE, in earlier Launchpad thread. But if there are no people around who can help implement this formal policy, then the policy is useless I fully understand that you are all very busy and even overloaded with work. And I appreciate your efforts very much. However, if there isn't enough manpower available for implementing the formal policy for JRE, then please drop JRE altogether and remove it entirely from the repositories.
