Hi Ionuț,
I just need to test one last thing on x64 when at home on Sunday and
will
send it right away.
Thanks
are you updating to the new stable series?
--
Ionuț
The 5.5.30 yes.
Well actually the update is hardly just a version change. You can already
get
it here and use
ithttp://github.com/galaux/abs/blob/master/tomcat_current/PKGBUILD
.
done
I would also like to propose this new package
tomcat-admin
http://github.com/galaux/abs/tree/master/tomcat_current-adminthat
provides the administration webapp. These have been tested on i686 and
x64.
upload it in aur and if it gets enough votes maybe somebody will move it
into community.

Hum... I should have thought about that ! There it
ishttp://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=39306
.
Thanks.
Hi Ionut, Hi everyone,
As said earlier, I have some changes to the tomcat package that I would like
to share:
* Fixed the userdel tomcat in tomcat.install that did not delete the
user/group
* Changed $arch from ('i686' 'x86_64') to ('any') (Java is supposed to be
cross-platform right?)
* Removed --with-java=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk from ./configure options
- ./configure uses the $JAVA_HOME variable automatically so there shouldn't
be any need for that option
- $JAVA_HOME needs to be set to the path of JVM we build against but this is
a Java pre-requisite anyway
- This allows Tomcat to be built and run from virtually any JVM (tested
with openjdk6 and jdk/jre from Sun/Oracle)
* Core files moved from /opt/tomcat to /usr/share/tomcat (Java Packaging
Guidelineshttp://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Java_Package_Guidelines#Arch_Java_Packaging
)
* Log file moved from /opt/tomcat/logs/catalina.log to /var/log/tomcat/
* Conf files moved from /opt/tomcat/conf to /etc/tomcat
* Webapps folders moved from /opt/tomcat/webapps to /srv/http/tomcat/webapps
* Cleaned startup script /etc/rc.d/tomcat to use variables from
/etc/conf.d/tomcat
I have tested these changes on i686 and x86_64 and with openjdk6 and
jdk/jre: that installs, runs and web applications work to. Source package
enclosed.
What do you think? Do some of these changes look useful to you?

Well there are several reasons in this renaming proposal :
1) to add some more info about the package
2) to make the difference between versions of Java. ie if we include
the
6
in names we could have (in a shorter scheme) jdk6 and jre6, jdk5 and
jre5,
jdk7 and jre7. Because nowadays, upgrading jre from 6 to 7 would
un-install
jre v6. As you all know these different versions of JVM (5 and 6 and
tomorrow 7) are both used a lot !
well, when this happens be sure that we will do that. add a new jre6
and
jdk package when version 7 is released

I see your point: jdk beeing the current version and jdk5 or jdk7
alternatives like Peter said.
What about paths? Today jdk/jre install in /opt/java, openjdk6 installs
in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk. Wouldn't it be cleaner if we installed
jdk/jre files in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-{jdk,jre} or something?
OK tested !
So! Basically, I made 2 versions of the package:
1) this one
http://github.com/downloads/galaux/abs/java-sun-6u21-1.src.tar.gz_current
is
made of the PKGBUILDs of JRE and JDK from community merged and updated
2) this one
http://github.com/downloads/galaux/abs/java-sun-6u21-1.src.tar.gz_custom
is
the same as 1) but I removed the construct.sh script and directly
included
it into the PKGBUILD so that we don't have to get through a lot of
unnecessary lines of script for building. This doesn't bring a lot but
looks
cleaner to me so... may not be that relevant !
Names are unchanged, ie jdk and jre. Paths are unchanged ie
/opt/java/{,jre}
Both have been tested for 32 and 64 arch and compile with openjdk6 and
jre/jdk. If a dev wants to use/test for official use in Arch repo

java6-open-jdk? Although this has the down side that it no longer contains
the
phrase openjdk which is probably what some/most people search for.
Just a thought.

i always hatted the debian naming scheme for java so -1 from me. but i'm
not against to use upstream name.

Well there are several reasons in this renaming proposal :
1) to add some more info about the package
2) to make the difference between versions of Java. ie if we include the 6
in names we could have (in a shorter scheme) jdk6 and jre6, jdk5 and jre5,
jdk7 and jre7. Because nowadays, upgrading jre from 6 to 7 would un-install
jre v6. As you all know these different versions of JVM (5 and 6 and
tomorrow 7) are both used a lot !
well, when this happens be sure that we will do that. add a new jre6 and
jdk package when version 7 is released

What about splitting the PKGBUILD?
+1
So if you want to rename them, how about either calling them sunjdk6 and
sunjre6 or else renaming the open ones too to fit into the same scheme, e.g.
java6-open-jdk
I do agree.
the description of jre/jdk are pretty damn straight an if you really
search for java sun it would find jre/jdk
pacman -Ss java sun

I also have some suggestions for these packages:
- rename them from {jre,jdk} to {java6-sun-jre,java6-sun-jdk} or so
would
enable us to use different versions of SUN's JVM (Java5, 6 and 7)
Well the open jdk package is called openjdk6. It would be nice if all
the
similar packages had similar names, to make it obvious that they were
alternatives.

I see your point: jdk beeing the current version and jdk5 or jdk7
alternatives like Peter said.
What about paths? Today jdk/jre install in /opt/java, openjdk6 installs
in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk. Wouldn't it be cleaner if we installed
jdk/jre files in /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun-{jdk,jre} or something?
