@joschi: hey, why don't you try to set the package to use archlinux-java, provided by 'java-common' ? Looks like you would need to drop jre.csh and jre.sh, move /opt/java to /usr/lib/jvm/, some other stuff.

@joschi: OK, I removed (sudo pacman -Rdd jre7) and reinstalled (yaourt -Sa jre7) and it worked fine. I checked pacman.log for the previous updates and there's nothing relevant there so it seems whatever is happening is before pacman (in the makepkg stage). We'll have to wait until the next update so I can save the yaourt output since AFAIK there are no logs for it (or makepkg).

@test0 What's the exact error you get when trying to install or upgrade the package?

test0 commented on 2014-08-10 20:34 (UTC)

@joschi: this package always fails to update (using yaourt -Sua) unless I do it as root (which isn't recommended). I've noticed it for, at least, the past 3 or 4 updates. Is this the intended/necessary behavior, a bug or did I do something wrong ?? If anyone else has any clues/workarounds I'd appreciate the help !!

Quick note: jre7 7.67 was released.

Btw. the auto-download links in https://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp don't need any cookie flags, but they do need to be manually renamed.

jre7 7.55 released.

@Det Thanks! I've updated the PKGBUILD.

Det commented on 2014-03-17 20:56 (UTC)

Same here. Symlinking the binaries isn't required, if you're installing the profile.d script. Also the download doesn't work anymore. I currently use: DLAGENTS=('http::/usr/bin/curl -LC - -b "oraclelicense=a" -O')

@ThePacman: The 'jre' PKGBUILD might (as soon as it's released) switch to Java 8 while this PKGBUILD will always stay at the most recent Oracle Java 7 release. Until then they're pretty much identical.
