dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin-1.7.0.3 fails

bawig1

Hi Everyone,

I am unable to emerge the oracle java jdk. I downloaded the package manually and put it in /usr/portage/distfiles but it still doesn't work. The output of /var/tmp/portage/dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin-1.7.0.3/temp/build.log is below;

"works for me" ...

You may have to make sure your system is emerge --sync fairly recently, then download the file from oracle and stick it into your portage distfiles directory.

Just to be sure, are you sure you stuck it into the correct directory?

tried a sync and it didn't work. What is interesting is that I put jdk-7u3-linux-x64.tar.gz in /usr/portage/distfiles and when I run;

i have the same problems, but with dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin-1.7.0.4
I have downloaded the files and put them into the distfiles directory,

i assume you all have already compared the checksum for the file you downloaded with the checksum listed in the manifest?

I'm having this exact same problem; it always fails with this:

The SHA1 checksums are ok. Found in the manifest
Which checksum is portage looking at?
Here the files are not removed from the distfiles directory.

May also have to wait a few days to pick up a new portage, file a bug, or create your own ebuild/manifest that has the checksum of the file.

This issue annoys the Gentoo devs as much as it does the endusers, it's not their fault Oracle decides to change the checksums of their files and force a re-download of their click-throughs which then differs from the file initially used to build the manifest...

Might want to consider using icedtea (non-oracle build JDK/JRE which can be a bit slower) which has a bit more control in file versions...

As I posted earlier: The SHA1 checksums are ok. (in my case)

Ok, problem solved.
I had to download jdk-6u32-linux-x64-demos.tar.gz for dev-java/sun-jdk-1.6.0.32
And .. jdk-7u4-linux-x64-demos.tar.gz for dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin-1.7.0.4
But I only looked at the 'demos' part :-)

and thought "i already have it!" so it took a while to find out that jdk-7u4-linux-x64-demos.tar.gz was also needed.

Ok everything is updated now :-)

I don't know why there are two java versions. I will look into that later.

Okay, it still keeps deleting it. This is what I'm doing in the following:

1) I try to emerge, it fails
2) I show the contents of distfiles (jdk-7u4-linux-x64.tar.gz isn't there).
3) I wget the file from the webpage.
4) I run the sha1sum command to get a hash of "43eabe42bb8d6e8dfe33f3a815f265ac5d5bb586"
5) I 'cat' the Manifest so you can see what hash is listed there. It's different from the one in the Manifest.
6) I try to re-emerge, it of course fails, and it of course removes the files.
Here's the output from my console, for any interested:

You are pulling up the webpage in Firefox and actually clicking through their EULA, right?

I don't think you can wget it, or at least you have to do some trickery to get the file through command line...

The file should be several megabytes:

-rw-r--r-- 1 portage portage 85292206 Feb 25 10:44 jdk-6u31-linux-i586.bin

Just installed the dev-java/sun-jdk succesfully.

Here's how to do it and this should apply to this oracle java case too(using the sun-java binary jdk-6u33-linux-x64.bin as an example):
1. Download the jdk in question. Go to the sun jdk page. Accept the licence. Download the file.
2. Open the manifest file to see which kind of checksum we are going to need.

BTW: wouldn't that kind of checksum checking be sort of easy to automate? So that the manifest would be uptodate. I mean is there any kind of notification about a changed binary or scan for changes or such?

That would defeat the purpose of the checksums: If the website gets hacked, everyone would get the compromised version automatically. In the past, there were at least hacks of UnrealIRCd's and ProFTP's websites, with compromised source tarballs put in place. Fortunately, these happened several weeks after distributions packaged the software, and after the correct sources had been pushed to gentoo mirrors.

I would like to know what oracle thinks, why do they change the binary without version bump? :roll:

Oh, and: This automatic check would break the license of java, because automatic fetching is not allowed.

Maybe is there some unofficial overlay which doesn't respect Oracle and gets jdk automatically

? Anyone knows ? ( F*ckYouOracle would be right name for it
