Request to add more `provides` for rpm package #272

Closed whhe closed 2 years ago

whhe commented 2 years ago

OS: CentOS 7.9

The Provides of dragonwell8 rpm package are as follows:

[root@6395dd2c9080 home]# rpm -q --provides java-1.8.0-alibaba-dragonwell       ​
java-1.8.0-alibaba-dragonwell = 8.8.8.302.b1-1.al7
java-1.8.0-alibaba-dragonwell(x86-64) = 8.8.8.302.b1-1.al7

OpenJDK returns more:

[root@6395dd2c9080 home]# rpm -q --provides java-1.8.0-openjdk                  
application()
application(java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.312.b07-1.el7_9.x86_64-policytool.desktop)
java = 1:1.8.0
java-1.8.0 = 1:1.8.0.312.b07-1.el7_9
java-1.8.0-openjdk = 1:1.8.0.312.b07-1.el7_9
java-1.8.0-openjdk(x86-64) = 1:1.8.0.312.b07-1.el7_9
java-fonts = 1:1.8.0.312.b07
java-openjdk = 1:1.8.0.312.b07-1.el7_9
jre = 1.8.0
jre-1.8.0 = 1:1.8.0.312.b07-1.el7_9
jre-1.8.0-openjdk = 1:1.8.0.312.b07-1.el7_9
jre-openjdk = 1:1.8.0.312.b07-1.el7_9

Now I want to use jdk8 as a Requires item for my rpm package, and I think it would be great to set a general value for it. But now dragonwell doesn't share any Provides fields with OpenJDK, so I'm wondering if dragonwell can add some Provides that are same with OpenJDK to make it works.

As I can remember the RPM scripts were maintained in a private repository within Alibaba, it used to be a workaround and worked around for many months :( ; maybe Dragonwell can opensource that script as well? @joeyleeeeeee97

To make it easier to adopt Dragonwell, maybe folks of this community should try to release packages for mainstream Linux distributions, such as Debian, Fedora, or even Archlinux. :)

Thank you for your feedback. Dragonwell 8u312 is not released yet, and for now publishing rpm to package servers is not automated. Adding Dragonwell to default release package in popular system is a great idea, we are beginning with Alibaba Cloud Linux and OpenAnolis, and hopefully all mainstream distributions.
