Description Josh Bressers 2009-11-05 14:32:23 UTC

The java-1.5.0-sun package has reached its end of life. Satellite will need to move away from this version to a supported version of Java.

This bug is the placeholder for discussion of possible solutions for this problem.

Comment 1 Milan Zázrivec 2009-11-05 15:33:50 UTC

Satellite 5.1.0 runs on RHEL-4 and i386, x86_64, s390, s390x arches.

java-1.5.0-sun has reached end of its life and customers running
Satellite 5.1.0 will have to switch to java-1.5.0-ibm.

Simply publishing a satellite errata with appropriate build of
java-1.5.0-ibm wouldn't work, since that errata wouldn't show as relevant
in RHN for affected satellites (no corresponding package installed).

What I propose is to create a package called java-sun-to-ibm-bridge, that
would require jre-ibm and obsolete jre-sun. This package with java-1.5.0-ibm
would be published with a new satellite errata.

Comment 2 Milan Zázrivec 2009-11-12 18:45:21 UTC

Solution proposed in comment #1 wouldn't work.

The agreed solution for the migration will be:

1) one security errata which will contain latest java-1.5.0-sun with all
important security fixes and an advice to switch to java-1.5.0-ibm

2) one enhancement errata adding java-1.5.0-ibm to Satellite 5.1 channels
(so that customers can actually install IBM's Java).

Comment 3 Milan Zázrivec 2009-11-23 13:22:53 UTC

Package java-1.5.0-sun-1.5.0.22-1jpp.1.el4 has been pushed into rhn.webqa
