#Java 8 update 91 install#

Java 6 is no longer available at, so switched to Java 7 (7u4). Preparation for when/if Oracle decides to fix the text on the download page at (which will probably make the script fail.). Some messages cleaned up as the Java 7 package is a tarball and not an executable (binary). Oracle has woken up, so - as expected - the script needed a (small) fix. Removing old tarballs from the cache didn't work.Д¬reating the links to the locally installed Open Database Connectivity drivers could fail on 64 bit systems, causing the execution of the script to abort prematurely.Added some code to make sure the structure in the installation directory has uid:gid 0:0. The -no-same-owner option on the main tar extraction was missing.

#Java 8 update 91 install#

This issue only affected the very first manual install run of the script, so this version was not distributed through the repository. The first manual run with install would fail because the directory /usr/share/update-sun-jre didn't exist yet.

Version 1.2.17 - 1 November 2013 (bin file only) Java 8 is now the default.ДЄdded an option to manually download and install the latest Java 7 update instead of the Java 8 one. Java 8 update 25 and Java 7 update 71 released by Oracle. Java 8 update 31 and Java 7 update 75 released by Oracle. Removed code to handle Java 7 as Oracle no longer provides easy access to a Java 7 tarball.ДЇixed bug that could leave alternatives set after JRE was removed. Some older versions of wget cannot handle the current length of the file name of the tarball on Oracle's server. Version number increased to 2.0.1 instead of 1.4.9, because of scripting error when creating the previous package. Fixed mess caused by Oracle switching to an all javascript info web page.
