Re: get-java6-jre fix for changed url and mime type

@bellard

hi, you sure work a lot in Slitaz :-)

i've seen http://hg.slitaz.org/wok/rev/2bc0db3c104a

doesn't the changeset miss

[c]-tar xvf ${TARBALL}
+/bin/sh $TARBALL[/c]
?

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

[c]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[/c]
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.

Maybe you have to install gnu tar

tazpkg get-install tar

Re: get-java6-jre fix for changed url and mime type

jre.bin is a self-extracting linux binary installer.

[c]/bin/sh jre.bin[/c]

[c]./jre.bin[/c]

[c]sh jre.bin[/c]

Should execute the installer.

Makeself is another linux self-extracting archive which is used for installers: filename.run

Re: get-java6-jre fix for changed url and mime type

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

Re: get-java6-jre fix for changed url and mime type

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
