Bug 635070 – dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin-1.8.0.152, dev-java/oracle-jre-bin-1.8.0.152: fails to install with USE=jce

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description gentoo_bugzilla 2017-10-22 15:14:08 UTC]

According to release notes on http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/8u152-relnotes-3850503.html (first new feature) JCE files are no longer needed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin-1.8.0.152 with USE=jce
Actual Results:  
Emerge fails on mv: cannot stat '/var/tmp/portage/dev-java/oracle-jdk-bin-1.8.0.152/image/opt/oracle-jdk-bin-1.8.0.152/jre/lib/security/US_export_policy.jar': No such file or directory

Expected Results:  
crypto.policy property in <java-home>/lib/security should be set if this flag is enabled

Direct link to JDK corresponding issue in release notes is http://bugs.java.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=JDK-8157561 but at the time of writing it is dead, so URL is set to whole release notes.

[Comment 1 Guido Jäkel 2017-10-23 07:09:39 UTC]

To my analysis, the mv will fail because there are no  *.jar  in  jre/lib/security/  in the source tarball, anymore.

To fix for the moment, I just disabled the check.

Use unlimited jce distributed with jre

[Comment 3 Michael Uleysky 2017-10-23 08:33:03 UTC]

Now Unlimited Strength JCE Policy Files are distributed within jre itself, no need for jce_policy-8.zip file. So, I patch ebuild to not download and unpack jce_policy-8.zip, but just make correct symlinks.

Even better ...

Use unlimited jce distributed with jre (with correct symlinks)

Sorry, paths for symlinks were incorrect, fix.

[Comment 6 James Le Cuirot 2017-10-23 10:42:53 UTC]

Thanks for the patch, that helps. I have come up with a simpler one-line solution to replace the dosym lines.

I have fixed this for oracle-jdk-bin. Unfortunately I can only test on arm until tonight and we don't support that arch for oracle-jre-bin. Please be patient.

[Comment 7 James Le Cuirot 2017-10-23 20:12:52 UTC]

This is now fixed in oracle-jre-bin too. Sorry for the inconvenience.
