Arch Linux User Repository

• Important notice:

As was made with the java packages in the official repositories, jdk now provides the jre alongside it, and both packages conflict with each other. During the package upgrade to version 22, act accordingly to your needs. For example, if you have both jdk and jre installed, only jdk will be sufficient, as it now also contains the runtime environment, and jre can be uninstalled. If you have only jre installed, no action is required.

And if you only want compression disabled of *this* package, you can always add PKGEXT='.pkg.tar' in the PKGBUILD of this package.

Hmm, well, you removed your good question, but I'm gonna answer here anyway even, if already have. The answer is: yes, we can speed up the compression like it used to be. To have PKGEXT='pkg.tar' for all packages: $ sudo sed -i "s/PKGEXT=.*/PKGEXT='.pkg.tar'/" /etc/makepkg.conf And to revert that: $ sudo sed -i "s/PKGEXT=.*/PKGEXT='.pkg.tar.xz'/" /etc/makepkg.conf But clearly you should just acquaint yourself with /etc/makepkg.conf. It's got a lot of goodies. E: The Wiki's good too: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg#Create_uncompressed_packages. People like me, graysky and Kynikos spend quite a lot of time editing it, actually.

And here I was hoping to get rid of those. Just now made you switch, though?

Should JDK conflict with java-runtime=7 and java-environment=7 as well? Currently pacman fails to replace jdk7-openjdk automatically.

Updated.

Updated to Java SE 8: https://blogs.oracle.com/java/entry/java_se_8_is_now Made it a 8u0, so we can have 8u1, 8u2, etc. That was the mistake in the 7 series, as Pacman considers 7u1-1 a downgrade from 7-1.

OMG. Java 8 is here already.
