RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, the automatically generated name for the installation directory for java-1.8.0-openjdk was not consistent with installation directory names for java-1.6.0-openjdk and java-1.7.0-openjdk. As a consequence, applications and automated tools that expected a consistent Java naming pattern failed when interacting with java-1.8.0-openjdk. With this update, java-1.8.0-openjdk installation directory follows the same pattern as the previous versions, which prevents the described problem. Note that due to the changes in the path structure, it is now impossible to revert to a version of java-1.8.0-openjdk prior to this update.

Comment 8 Bryan Totty 2015-10-24 17:10:47 UTC 
The errata: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2015-1828.html does not make mention of alternatives anywhere in the "Details" section. Can we modify or clarify this because it is not entirely clear based on the write up.



Reference notes:

1. openjdk 1.8.0 alternative is changed to 1.7.0 when a 1.8.0 update is applied:

	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1251560 is for RHEL 6.8, when released

2. openjdk 1.8.0 alternative is changed to 1.7.0 when a 1.8.0 update is applied:
	
	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1254198 was the z-stream tracker that we used for RHEL 6.7 (z-stream).

3. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1254198 was closed per comment https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1254198#c5

	"I think we can close this z stream clone as it appears the fix will already be included in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1254197"

4. Inconsistent directory naming and alternatives handling between Java 6/7 and 8: 

	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1254197 is "CLOSED ERRATA" 

	https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2015-1828.html


There is no mention of alternatives in the "Details" section of RHBA-2015-1828.

Although, 1254197 - Inconsistent directory naming and alternatives handling between Java 6/7 and 8 is linked to the errata, so it should be addressed here.

Yes, because they are not there. Side effect of the renaming of links is, that the issue with alternatives will disappear. However not during the update of  this erratum, but during  of any  second update. I'm still not getting what I'm explaining so wrong or what yo would like to make better.
