# Rebuilding the OpenJDK package
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The OpenJDK packages are now created from a single build which is then
|
||
|
|
packaged for different major versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux
|
||
|
|
(RHEL). This allows the OpenJDK team to focus their efforts on the
|
||
|
|
development and testing of this single build, rather than having
|
||
|
|
multiple builds which only differ by the platform they were built on.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This does make rebuilding the package slightly more complicated than a
|
||
|
|
normal package. Modifications should be made to the
|
||
|
|
`java-11-openjdk-portable.specfile` file, which can be found with this
|
||
|
|
README file in the source RPM or installed in the documentation tree
|
||
|
|
by the `java-11-openjdk-headless` RPM.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once the modified `java-11-openjdk-portable` RPMs are built, they
|
||
|
|
should be installed and will produce a number of tarballs in the
|
||
|
|
`/usr/lib/jvm` directory. The `java-11-openjdk` RPMs can then be
|
||
|
|
built, which will use these tarballs to create the usual RPMs found in
|
||
|
|
RHEL. The `java-11-openjdk-portable` RPMs can be uninstalled once the
|
||
|
|
desired final RPMs are produced.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that the `java-11-openjdk.spec` file has a hard requirement on
|
||
|
|
the exact version of java-11-openjdk-portable to use, so this will
|
||
|
|
need to be modified if the version or rpmrelease values are changed in
|
||
|
|
`java-11-openjdk-portable.specfile`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To reduce the number of RPMs involved, the `fastdebug` and `slowdebug`
|
||
|
|
builds may be disabled using `--without fastdebug` and `--without
|
||
|
|
slowdebug`.
