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.

jdk-13_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz has a SHA-256 of 095fe9ee73bfa8d594b6bf63ae8c750144670a676ba4331ffd2d06b5ae4d5af1.

Yes. How to fix checksum problem? Well I just enabled editing in yay AUR wrapper and edit sha256 checksumm to 095fe9ee73bfa8d594b6bf63ae8c750144670a676ba4331ffd2d06b5ae4d5af1

to enable editing in yay: https://github.com/Jguer/yay

Yay is not asking me to edit PKGBUILDS, and I don't like the diff menu! What can I do?

yay --editmenu --nodiffmenu --save

Thats it. You can calculate sha256checksum with the same name following utility if it changes once more.

And archlinux-java status or archlinux-java get to check it. I have defaulted to 13 after package installation.

Please upgrade the checksum. updpkgsums

The checksum seems out of date?

The checksum seems out of date?

The checksums don't seem to fit (sha256 also fails the same way)

@ForeverZer0 Yes it's possible. You need to set a directory path in the SRCDEST variable in your makepkg.conf file. All the sources downloaded by makepkg will be placed in this directory, avoiding duplicate download of sources:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Makepkg#Package_output

https://www.archlinux.org/pacman/makepkg.conf.5.html#_options

It's also possible to specify a SCRDEST environment variable which overrides the one defined in makepkg.conf:

https://www.archlinux.org/pacman/makepkg.8.html#_environment_variables

Just a quick question, was installing this and watching the log, and it appeared to be downloading "jdk-12.0.1_linux-x64_bin.tar.gz" twice, once for the jre, and the other for the jdk.

Would it be possible to re-use the same file to avoid the duplicate 181M download?

circular dependency

==> jdk dependencies:
 - java-environment-common (already installed)
 - jre<13 (already installed)
 - zlib (already installed)
 - hicolor-icon-theme (already installed)
 - jre>=12 (building from AUR)

however

sudo pacman -U /tmp/yaourt-tmp-darko/jre-12.0.1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar
loading packages...
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: installing jre (12.0.1-1) breaks dependency 'jre<12' required by jdk

I see that has been answered. "Build jre normally with makepkg, then build jdk with makepkg -d, and then install both with pacman -U"

Still it's an unelegant solution and the issue re-appears every time.

Is everybody aware that the Oracle version of the JDK/JRE can not be used for free in a server environment? See https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/overview/oracle-jdk-faqs.html For a free to use version, jdk.java.net should be used.
