I'm sure fpm works in a lot of cases but something tells me that it's not straightforward to package a JVM..

- mbreese 15y agoYou can download an rpm, so it should just be a matter of conversion. At least the last time I did this, you downloaded a shell script that when you agreed to the license extracted an rpm from itself. So it should be a little more straightforward. Of course, when yoiu roll your own package, you don't get automatic security updates, so that's still a pain.
- sciurus 15y agoAgreed. I spent some time updating the jpackage project's nosrc RPMs to work with newer versions of the JRE. There is a lot of complexity involved in making what Oracle's JRE installer delivers integrate nicely with the rest of the system.
