suggest avoiding broken openjdk6 on Debian as build-dep
-------------------------------------------------------
Key: CASSANDRA-1575
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-1575
Project: Cassandra
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Packaging
Affects Versions: 0.7 beta 2
Environment: Debian lenny
Reporter: Peter Schuller
Priority: Minor
Attachments: trunk-1575.txt
I ran into this myself and then today someone was reporting having the same
problem on IRC; there is a packaging bug in openjdk6 in lenny:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=501487
The effect is that when ant tries to download files over SSL, it fails
complaining about:
"java.security.InvalidAlgorithmParameterException: the trustAnchors
parameter must be non-empty"
It turns out this works fine with the Sun JVM. I'm attaching a patch which
makes Cassandra build on both lenny and squeeze; however, I am not sure whether
other platforms may be negatively affected. The patch just requires an openjdk
sufficiently new that the lenny openjdk won't quality. If there are other
platforms where we do want an older openjdk, this patch might break that.
In addition, I removed the "java6-sdk" as a sufficient dependency because that
resolved to openjdk-6-jdk on lenny.
I think it's a good idea to consider changing this just to decrease the initial
threshold of adoption for those trying to build from source.
So: This does fix the build issue on lenny, and doesn't seem to break squeeze,
but I cannot promise anything about e.g. ubuntu.
For the record, I'm also attaching a small self-contained test case which, when
run, tries to download one of the offending pom files. It can be used to easily
test weather the SSL download with work with a particular JVM.
