Jonathan Ellis reassigned CASSANDRA-4498: ----------------------------------------- Assignee: Brandon Williams (was: paul cannon) > Remove openjdk-6-jre Cassandra APT dependencies > ----------------------------------------------- > > Key: CASSANDRA-4498 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-4498 > Project: Cassandra > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Terrance Shepherd > Assignee: Brandon Williams > Priority: Minor > Labels: debian > Fix For: 1.2.0 beta 1 > > Attachments: apache_cassandra_Packages.diff > > > As it is well known the recommended jre for Cassandra is sun java 1.6 but at > this point that package no longer in the debian or ubuntu apt repos. In order > to run Cassandra with the sun java 1.6 jre it must be installed manually with > out the repos. Because of this when you install cassandra via the apache or > datastax apt repos it must also install openjdk-6-jre even though sun java > 1.6 jre is already installed. > I would suggest that the java apt dependencies be removed from the Depends > field in package configuration and move to either the Recommends or Suggests > field so that way openjdk is not being downloaded when not necessary and > possibly interfering with a be pre-installed jre -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
