Jira (PDB-891) RPM requires openjdk while published requirements state Oracle support

[Matthaus Owens (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Matthaus Owens commented on an issue   Re: RPM requires openjdk while published requirements state Oracle support John D'Ausilio What Kenneth Barber said is totally accurate. The packages from centos, rhel and fedora provide java and the jre, but not the jdk. The oracle jre rpm provides jre, but not java. The oracle jdk provides jdk, but not java or jre. This means we could make the puppetdb package depend on jre, but that brings in the possibility of getting ibm java (and excludes the oracle jdk rpm), which we definitely don't want. I would say that the docs are focused on the puppetdb project, which does support the oracle jdk. The puppetdb packaging, due in part to limitations in rpm, does not support the oracle jdk at this time. However, as Kenneth Barber said, you can absolutely roll a package (either puppetdb or some virtual-java package) that would work around this issue. Add Comment   PuppetDB / PDB-891 RPM requires openjdk while published requirements state Oracle support puppetdb-faq in docs states: The officially supported versions are OpenJDK 1.7 and Oracle JDK 1.7. The rpm has a hard dependency on OpenJDK 1.7, and resists --force We use puppet in a closed environment without X on a small number of servers and embedded systems, each installed site has it's own puppetmaster and yum repo and has no external connect...
