Description Georgy Yakovlev archtester gentoo-dev 2019-08-18 07:07:40 UTC
ebuild modifies jvm

zip -d jre/lib/rt.jar sun/misc/PostVMInitHook.class || die

this may mean legal trouble.


according to my research this may be no longer required.
previously it was breaking sandbox as jvm was trying to write files outside of sandbox.
Comment 1 Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev 2019-08-18 09:54:24 UTC
I don't think that deleting a class would qualify as "create, modify, or change".

The ebuild has "Oracle-BCLA-JavaSE" (corresponding to https://www.oracle.com/downloads/licenses/binary-code-license.html). Is that no longer accurate?
Comment 2 Georgy Yakovlev archtester gentoo-dev 2019-08-18 10:47:31 UTC
summary of IRC discussion:

oracle-jdk-1.8 versions <=1.8.0.202 seem still to be under Oracle-BCLA-JavaSE
oracle-jdk-1.8 >=1.8.222 are under new license (we don't have those in tree as of now)

>=oracle-jdk-11 seem to be under new license, but I can't reliably verify.
Comment 3 Georgy Yakovlev archtester gentoo-dev 2019-08-18 10:51:50 UTC
as for class deletion, usage tracker seems to be disabled by default with recent versions, so probably it's better to delete the hack. I could not reproduce sandbox faulures with 1.8.0.202 and class removal line deleted from ebuild.
