A default x86 installation of Fedora 8 Test 3 includes java-1.7.0-icedtea but not java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin. java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin should be installed by default. Here is the relevant comps group: <group> <id>java</id> <_name>Java</_name> <_description>Support for running programs written in the Java programming language.</_description> <default>true</default> <uservisible>false</uservisible> <packagelist> <packagereq type="mandatory">java-1.5.0-gcj</packagereq> <packagereq type="default">java-1.7.0-icedtea</packagereq> <packagereq type="default">java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin</packagereq> <packagereq type="mandatory">libgcj</packagereq> </packagelist> </group>
Why wouldn't it be in the browser section?
I thought the description of the Java group matched java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin's function, and that users used to downloading Sun's Java for a working plugin would look in the Java group first for configuring Java plugin support. Either categorization is fine by me, as long as java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin actually gets installed by default. Any idea why that's not happening with the current comps?
Is the java group being selected in the installs you're doing?
I assume so, since java-1.5.0-gcj and java-1.7.0-icedtea are installed. Josh, did you check the state of the Java group as reported by Anaconda during the install?
I'm not sure where the state of the Java group would be reported... Is there a log recorded, or is it just something that shows up during the install?
The installs I did were just default installs, so I did not look into the Java group.
I just did a test install of rawhide, and it showed up there. Were you installing from a live image?
My install was from the dvd, so not a live image.
What version of the DVD?
Fedora 8 Test 3 i386 - 2.9G - 2007-10-04 and Fedora 8 Test 3 x86_64 - 3.5G - 2007-10-04. Both DVDs say Fedora 7.92
java-1.7.0-icedtea-plugin was not in the Fedora manifest for test2. Can we make sure it's in there for final?
Ping?
Fixed in pungi hg; requires a rebuild.
Changing status since we have a fix.. close after pungi gets rebuilt, I guess.
Fixed with the manifest updates for F8 final (pungi-1.1.6-1.fc8)
