make-jpkg

MAKE-JPKG(1)						      General Commands Manual						      MAKE-JPKG(1)

NAME

       make-jpkg - builds Debian packages from Java binary distributions

SYNOPSIS

       make-jpkg [OPTION]... [FILE]

DESCRIPTION

       make-jpkg builds a Debian package from the given Java distribution FILE.

       Supported java binary distributions currently include:
	 * Oracle (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads) :
	   - The J2SE Development Kit (JDK), version 6 (update >= 10), 7
	   - The J2SE Runtime Environment (JRE), version 6 (update >= 10), 7
	   - The J2SE API Javadoc, version 6 (update >= 10), 7
	 (Choose tar.gz archives or self-extracting archives, do _not_ choose the RPM!)

       The following options are recognized:

       --full-name NAME
	      full name used in the maintainer field of the package

       --email EMAIL
	      email address used in the maintainer field of the package

       --changes
	      create a .changes file

       --revision
	      add debian revision

       --help display help text and exit

       --version
	      output version information and exit

       Download  a  supported Java RE or SDK or API tar.gz or self-extracting archive from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads
       and execute make-jpkg file with the downloaded file. The program asks the user for additional information and builds a Debian binary  pack-
       age in the current directory.

       The program requires about 200 MB free disk space in a temporary directory. The temporary directory defaults to /tmp but you can specify an
       alternate directory by setting the environment variable TMPDIR.

EXAMPLE

       To install Oracle(TM) 7 Standard Edition JDK, download a release  -  64	bits  version  of  update  2  from  http://www.oracle.com/technet-
       work/java/javase/downloads/jdk-7u2-download-1377129.html in this example - and invoke make-jpkg:

	      make-jpkg <path_to_download_directory>/jdk-7u2-linux-x64.tar.gz

       This generate a Debian package in the current directory, that can be installed using dpkg:

	      dpkg -i oracle-j2sdk1.7_1.7.0+update2_amd64.deb

       When you're done, you can delete initial download as well as generated package:

	      rm <path_to_download_directory>/jdk-7u2-linux-x64.tar.gz oracle-j2sdk1.7_1.7.0+update2_amd64.deb

ENVIRONMENT

       TMPDIR base directory used for temporary files (defaults to /tmp)

       J2SE_PACKAGE_FULL_NAME
	      full name used in the maintainer field of the package; if none is supplied then the default of "Debian Java Maintainers" is used.

       J2SE_PACKAGE_EMAIL
	      email   address	used  in  the  maintainer  field  of  the  package;  if  none  is  supplied  the  default  of  "pkg-java-maintain-
	      ers@lists.alioth.debian.org" is used.
