Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: sunwderby
NOTE: The related packages are: sunwderby, sun-java6-javadb, glassfish,
but only one can be specified
Sun Microsystems is distributing Derby 10.x as Java DB in both Java SE 6
and Glassfish 1.
Both are available in Multiverse and in their way to Main (according to
recent news). As a result there are two versions of derby in multiverse.
Facts:
- Glassfish requires Java SE
- Last Java SE version released by Sun is 6 (currently the recommended version
from Sun is Java SE 6 u1 according to www.java.com)
- Sun Java SE 6 has its own version of Java DB which is provided by Sun
Why not have only one derby package and make both products depend on the
same derby/javadb? As Glassfish will run on top of Java SE and the
JavaDB version included in Java SE will obviously work OK on this
version of Java, I think that the right solution should be:
- make glassfish depend on sun-java6-jre and sun-java6-javadb instead of
sun-java5-jre and sunwderby
- make glassfish package create a symbolic link from /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/db
to /usr/share/sunappserver/javadb
- get rid of sunwderby
** Affects: sunwderby (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: Unconfirmed
--
derby/javadb is duplicated in multiverse: sunwderby (glassfish) and
sun-java6-javadb (Sun Java 6)
