martiell opened a new issue, #153:
URL: https://github.com/apache/couchdb-pkg/issues/153
The debian package for Nouveau declares a dependency on
default-jre-headless. In turn this depends on a specific version of the JRE
that the user may not want to install. For example, in Ubuntu Jammy,
default-jre-headless depends on openjdk-11-jre-headless.
## Expected Behavior
User can decide which version of Java to use with Nouveau, and does not need
to install the specific version required by default-jre-headless.
## Current Behavior
Installing couchdb-nouveau will also install default-jre-headless, and a
specific Java version determined by the operating system.
## Possible Solution
One option:
1. Remove `default-jre-headless` from the Depends line in
`debian/control.in`. The `java11-runtime-headless` dependency remains a virtual
dependency provided by Java 11 or any subsequent version.
2. Remove, or comment out, `JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/default-java` from
`couchdb-nouveau.default`. This path is provided by default-jre-headless.
3. In `couchdb-nouveau.service`, change `exec ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java` to
`exec ${JAVA_HOME:-/usr}/bin/java`. This will still allow `JAVA_HOME` to be
configured in `/etc/default/couchdb-nouveau`, but will default to /usr/bin/java
if it is not set (which in turn will use whatever update-alternatives) has
picked.
Another option:
1. Remove `default-jre-headless` from the Depends line in
`debian/control.in`.
2. Replace JAVA_HOME in `couchdb-nouveau.default` with JAVA, and make it
default to `/usr/bin/java`
3. In `couchdb-nouveau.service`, change `exec ${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java` to
`exec ${JAVA}`. This allows the java executable to be selected. As nouveau does
not invoke any other Java tooling, it should not be necessary to set
`JAVA_HOME` additionally.
## Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
1. Build packages for 3.4.0 RC4
5. Try to install couchdb and couchdb-nouveau
## Context
I'd like to install couchdb-nouveau without requiring the version of Java
depended on by default-jre-headless
