   hi, you sure work a lot in Slitaz :-)
   i've seen http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/rev/2bc0db3c104a
   doesn't the changeset miss
   

   -tar xvf ${TARBALL}
    +/bin/sh $TARBALL

   ?
   in my system tar xvf can't extract jre.bin file:
   

   tux@slitaz:~ $ tar xvf jre-6u38-linux-i586.bin
   tar: This does not look like a tar archive
   tar: Skipping to next header
   tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

   Forgive me if i abuse of your kindness, did you see last two posts of this:
   http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/clamtk-receipt-typo
   ?
   While clamtk builds well in 4.0 it's still broken in rolling.

   If you fix get-LibreOffice too
   http://forum.slitaz.org/topic/rolling-get-libreoffice-broken-ugly-fix
   i would be glad to understand why the error rise up, i could not uderstand it.

   last thing, could you advice me a good internet text about shell scripts and regexp?

   Thanks a lot for your work.

   Key Master

   jre.bin is a self-extracting linux binary installer.
   /bin/sh jre.bin
./jre.bin
sh jre.bin
   Should execute the installer.
   Makeself is another linux self-extracting archive which is used for installers: filename.run

   I guess that with:
   -----------
   TARBALL="jre.tar.gz"
   ....
   URL="$(wget -O - ${WEB_SITE}en/download/manual.jsp | \
   sed '/Linux"/!d;s/.*href="\([^"]*\).*/\1/;q')"
   ....
   tar xzvf ${TARBALL}
   ------------

   a get-java7-jre package is readily available.

   PS: it is also possible to have the version (v6 or v7) as an input parameter if a generic get-java-jre is required

   hi tkoun, your are right.
   i don't know anything about java, i tried to fix get-java6-jre because it was a dependendy of get-libreoffice
   maybe to make a generic get-java-jre pointing to the last version would make sense
