Bug#863247: java-package: ARM support bitrotted

[Richard Ruigrok]

Hi Emmanuel,

I'm following-up on this issue, I have replicated building and installing jdk-8u172-linux-arm64-vfp-hflt.tar.gz, by applying the patch proposed by Ian.  I would like to see this patch committed to Debian to have out-of-the-box support for ARM64.

fakeroot make-jpkg jdk-8u172-linux-arm64-vfp-hflt.tar.gz

In your prior response on this patch you indicated we need support for legacy package naming (where the 32|64 architecture is not included), I replaced  arm(32|64) with arm(32|64|), and you indicated we should test with prior revision of jdk.

I could not locate any current jdk-7 release listed below for testing.   jdk-10 is not yet supported on ARM, the only jdk releases I could find for testing are the following:

- jdk-8u172-linux-arm64-vfp-hflt.tar.gz

-jdk-8u171-linux-arm64-vfp-hflt.tar.gz

Please propose a path forward.  Should the patch be submitted on GitHub:  https://github.com/Debian/java-package ?

Here is the only change made to Ian's original patch.

   # Update or GA release (jdk-7u15-linux-i586.tar.gz)-  if [[ $archive_name =~ jdk-([0-9]+)(u([0-9]+))?-linux-(i586|x64|amd64|arm-vfp-hflt)\.(bin|tar\.gz) ]]

+  if [[ $archive_name =~ jdk-([0-9]+)(u([0-9]+))?-linux-(i586|x64|amd64|arm(32|64|)-vfp-hflt)\.(bin|tar\.gz) ]]

Thanks,

Richard
