Donate

If you or your organisation has found oab-java.sh useful please consider donating to this project. It is nice to have the effort I've put into this script recognised, I don't ask for much, it is at your discretion.

Usage

sudo ./oab-java.sh

Optional parameters

• -7 : Build oracle-java7 packages instead of sun-java6
• -c : Remove pre-existing packages from /var/local/oab/deb and sources from /var/local/oab/src.
• -k : Use the specified existing key instead of generating one
• -s : Skip building if the packages already exist
• -t : Specify the Java version tag to use from the upstream Debian packaging script.
• -h : This help

How do I download and run this thing?

Like this.

cd ~/
wget https://github.com/flexiondotorg/oab-java6/raw/0.3.0/oab-java.sh -O oab-java.sh
chmod +x oab-java.sh
sudo ./oab-java.sh

If you are behind a proxy you may need to run using:

sudo -i ./oab-java.sh

If you want to see what this script is doing while it is running then execute the following from another shell:

tail -f ./oab-java.sh.log

How it works

This script is merely a wrapper for the most excellent Debian packaging scripts prepared by Janusz Dziemidowicz.

• https://github.com/rraptorr/sun-java6
• https://github.com/rraptorr/oracle-java7

The basic execution steps are:

• Remove, my now disabled, Java PPA ppa:flexiondotorg/java.
• Install the tools required to build the Java packages.
• Create download cache in /var/local/oab/pkg.
• Download the i586 and x64 Java install binaries from Oracle. Yes, both are required (for sun-java6 only).
• Clone the build scripts from https://github.com/rraptorr/
• Build the Java packages applicable to your system.
• Create local apt repository in /var/local/oab/deb for the newly built Java Packages.
• Create a GnuPG signing key in /var/local/oab/gpg if none exists.
• Sign the local apt repository using the local GnuPG signing key.

What gets installed?

This script will no longer try and directly install or upgrade any Java packages, instead a local apt repository is created that hosts locally built Java packages applicable to your system. It is up to you to install or upgrade the Java packages you require using apt-get, aptitude or synaptic, etc. For example, once this script has been run you can simply install the JRE by executing the following from a shell.

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre

Or if you ran the script with the -7 option.

sudo apt-get install oracle-java7-jre

If you already have the "official" Ubuntu packages installed then you can upgrade by executing the following from a shell.

sudo apt-get upgrade

The local apt repository is just that, local. It is not accessible remotely and oab-java.sh will never enable that capability to ensure compliance with Oracle's asinine license requirements.

By default, the script creates a temporary GPG keyring in the working directory. In order to use the current user's GPG chain instead, specify the key ID of an existing secret key. Run gpg -K to list available keys.

Known Issues

• Building Java 7 on Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 is no longer supported as the upstream scripts require debhelper>=8 which is not officially available for Lucid.
• The Oracle download servers can be horribly slow. My script caches the downloads so you only need download each file once.

What is 'oab'?

Because, O.A.B! ;-)

Also allow Linux Mint users to run script

Please add 'lisa' (and maybe more Mint codenames) to the list of the allowed versions (line 188), so that Linux Mint users can use your script, too. See here for Linux Mint codenames (and which Ubuntu version they are based on): http://www.linuxmint.com/oldreleases.php

Thanks for the cool script.

Local repository for multiple servers

On our LAN there are several virtual servers that require Sun Java. Is it possible to use this technique to set up a local repository on a server which can be accessed by several servers on the LAN. This will avoid installing the local repository for every machine and save a lot of time and bandwidth as well.

error checking jars with same content -- looking for user input

I am using the 0.2.5 script from here on an Ubuntu 10.04 (2.6.32-38 x86_64) machine to build the java6 package and I'm running into an error while building:

This was working for me a few days ago on a different machine. Is there something in my environment setup that is causing it to ask about replacing this file during the dpkg-buildpackage (version 1.15.5.6ubuntu2) execution? I'm happy to help debug/write patches/submit pull requests to get this fixed if someone that knows more can point me in the right direction.

line 363 should use [[ ]] rather than [ ]

Hi,

I think word splitting in line 363 causes this error:

[: too many arguments

I'm running VMware to the result of "imvirt" is "VMware ESX Server".

Because of the issue with line 363, the oab-java6.sh script skips the entire routine that creates GPG keys and signs the repository? Replacing [ ] with [[ ]] fixes the problem as [[ ]] disables word splitting:

if [[ imvirt != "OpenVZ" ]]; then

Autogenerated GPG key export failed if hostname was changed later

This line just checked for gpg database files exists not for valid keys inside:
if [ -n "${BUILD_KEY}" ] || [ -e ${WORK_PATH}/gpg/pubring.gpg ] && [ -e ${WORK_PATH}/gpg/secring.gpg ] && [ -e ${WORK_PATH}/gpg/trustdb.gpg ]; then

But next command try to export keys related to hostname:
gpg --homedir ${WORK_PATH}/gpg --export -a "hostname --fqdn" > ${WORK_PATH}/deb/pubkey.asc

So no key exported if hostname was changed after initial keys generation

provide script for manual downloads?

Since Oracle just moved the download page (and probably will in the future), would you consider providing a script that expects the user to download the two (or four) bin files and the jce files manually and then does all the magic with those files?

That way Oracle can't say that you're going around the license agreement.

git clone vs wget

Another github publisher, pylanglois, offers a tweak to your instructions. For your consideration:

hxxp://gaggl.com/2012/04/installing-java6-jdk-on-ubuntu-12-04/comment-page-1/#comment-1469

sudo apt-get purge sun-java
mkdir ~/src_SunJava6
cd ~/src_SunJava6
git clone https://github.com/flexiondotorg/oab-java6.git
cd ~/src_SunJava6/oab-java6
sudo ./oab-java.sh -c

sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jdk

I have slightly changed the target directory for scrape sanity and defaulted to -c. It is not clear the advantage of installing also " sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jdk" unless one needed the jdk, too?

Can -7 and -c be combined?

Can not lines 2-5 be consolidated (without &&) specifying target directory with git command? [git help clone]. This seems to play nicely:

sudo apt-get purge sun-java
git clone https://github.com/flexiondotorg/oab-java6.git ~/src_SunJava6
sudo ~/src_SunJava6/oab-java.sh -c

No oab-java6 directory will be created as location is specified to git.

Old packages are not cleaned

Looking in /var/local/oab/pkg, it contains:
jdk-6u30-linux-i586.bin jdk-6u30-linux-x64.bin jdk-6u31-linux-i586.bin jdk-6u31-linux-x64.bin
after running the script. Furthermore the /var/local/oab/deb also contains multiple versions.
Shouldn't there be some cleaning built into the script when new versions emerge, or some way to trigger cleaning?

Package signing fails if the host doesn't have an entry in /etc/hosts

But first of all, thanks for a great script!

Now back to the issue at hand: the package signing fails if the host doesn't have an entry in /etc/hosts. Or more specifically, oab-java.sh uses hostname --fqdn, but this doesn't return anything if the host's name (as set in /etc/hostname and returned by a simple hostname) isn't available.

I suggest enhancing the script to falling back to simple hostname output in case the hostname --fqdn fails.

Workaround for others that might experience this: simply do:

# echo 127.0.1.1 $HOSTNAME >> /etc/hosts

then remove the directory oab-java.sh created (/var/local/oab) and re-run the script.

New upstream release

A new Java6 has been released, this script needs updating in order to support it.

Download path have changed

I cannot update to Java 6 Update 31 on my system. The files from sun gets a 404 when trying to download.
As far as I can see, it's the file name convention that has changed.

Debugging a little, I saw that in /tmp/oab-index.html, there wasn't a link of the form jdk-6u33-downloads-\d+, which is what the script searches for on line 278. In the current index page, the correct link has the form jdk6-downloads-\d+. That's incredibly useless, I know, because it's not specific to the update number, so it doesn't tell you whether to use the 'current' or 'previous' releases pages. A real change to fix this will probably involve downloading and grepping both the current and previous pages to find the package URL, but I hacked it to work for me by replacing line 278 with

DOWNLOAD_INDEX=`grep -P -o "/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk${JAVA_VER}-downloads-\d+\.html" /tmp/oab-index.html | uniq`

Script can't find jdk-6u32-linux-i586.bin download file

I am running the script on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, though I suspect it would happen on any other version.

A failure occurs when attempting to retrieve the download for jdk-6u32-linux-i586.bin:

This is because http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase6-419409.html no longer has any mention of jdk-6u32-linux-i586.bin for some reason.

I'm not sure what the appropriate resolution would be. Any thoughts?

does not work if user is behind a proxy

Solution is
$ sudo -i /home/user/oab-java6.sh

Ubuntu Precise Support

Why is does not allow the user to package in Precise?

Non-privileged mode

How difficult would it be to add a non-privileged mode that doesn't require to be run as root?

I would love to build this using our continuous integration system which obviously runs as a normal user. Another reason is that I don't feel comfortable running scripts as root that interact with websites.

I see two possible methods: simply omit the commands that require root privileges or hardcode the sudo into them. With the latter method, I could then give sudo access to these specific commands to my continuous integration user via /etc/sudoers.

ERROR! Packages failed to build.

I get the following errormessage after applying the fix to adjust to Oracles website changes for 6u35:

Running without root (e.g. in Jenkins)

It would be nice to have a command line option to skip the things that need root and just build the packages.

The following allows this, and happens to be suitable for a build step in Jenkins:

mkdir -p $WORKSPACE/tmp
perl -pe 's!^(\s*)(check_root|check_sudo|apt-get)\b!${1}true!g;
          s!^WORK_PATH=.*!WORK_PATH=\$WORKSPACE/oab!g;
          s!^(\s*)spinny\b!${1}true!g;
          s! /tmp! \$WORKSPACE/tmp!g;
         ' < oab-java.sh > oab-java-ci.sh
rm -f oab-java-ci.sh.log
bash ./oab-java-ci.sh -k none

You can tell Jenkins to archive artifacts: oab/deb/*.deb

Consider using tagged version

Hi,
please consider using tagged version of my Java packaging script:

• that way you can have repeatable builds (master branch changes, so the builds created at different times can be slightly different)
• from time to time I can break something in master, using tagged version will make your script work regardless of any breakage in master

You can either hardcode the tag you want to use (like v6.30-2) or use something like this to detect newest version:

TAG=`git tag -l 'v6.30-*'|tail -n1`
git checkout $TAG

Add support for JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files

I've just merge a pull request for JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files into sun-java6. This removes all restrictions from Java Cryptography Extension and requires additional file to be downloaded.
Please update your script to download this file as next tagged release of sun-java6 will require it.

both 6u33 and 7u5 are deprecated by Oracle

Your script is unusable now because these releases do not exist on Oracle servers anymore

Defoma is deprecated

Defoma package is not anymore available on debian testing or sid, it's being replaced in all distros for the not-so-debian-specific fontconfig package.
Probably replacing defoma by fontconfig should do it, but, why is defoma a build-dep?

Numerous "command not found" when common.sh already exists

If, for whatever reason, the file /tmp/common.sh already exists, the oab-java6.sh script fails, outputting numerous "command not found" and "No such file or directory" messages. The oab-java6.sh.log is not created.

Removing common.sh from /tmp fixes the issue.

I don't know why I already had that file, if the download failed or another application created it. I am on Ubuntu 10.04.
