Update get-java6-jre for the new download address

Hello,

get-java6-jre doesn't work anymore because Oracle moved the file. The link to download current Java 8 is "http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=101398". Despite the name, this is a tarball! No installer to run anymore, you have to "un-targz" instead, but the rest of get-java6-jre seems to work well (I'm currently running it, compressing the FS is loooong).

I'm not confident in patching get-* scripts myself, would someone more knowledgeable than me do it?

Note: the tarball is 62 MB; there's also an RPM which is "only" 40 MB at "http://javadl.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=101397", if it can be used that would save 1/3 of downloading time.

Thanks for the community.

Re: Update get-java6-jre for the new download address

I tried to "tazpkg convert" on the rpm file but after 5 minutes or so, I get into kernel panic.

Hmmm...

The download is no problem on my end as I get it with 3MB/s - but converting it into a SliTaz package seems to be quite a pain.

Re: Update get-java6-jre for the new download address

OK. On my side, I installed from the tarball without problems, and Java runs as expected.

Proposed basis for a patch (needs improvement):

I couldn't come up with a correct regexp for the URL= bit. If someone can, here's the wget command to be used as input:

[c]wget -O - ${WEB_SITE}en/download/linux_manual.jsp[/c]

I don't know what to do with the "don't trust df" part.

Also, the file should be renamed to get-java8-jre (note the 8) or to the more generic get-java-jre.

Hope this helps.
