Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie to centos and having trouble upgrading java's jdk1.4 to jdk1.5. I assume I have to get the jdk from jpackage, but I'm having trouble locating it, let alone finding any instructions on how to upgrade. Much appreciated if anyone can help. Thanks!
Hello Lee,
Why not just download the rpm directly from Sun (java.sun.com). Not quite as easy as yum install blah, but almost :)

To my knowledge they do not supply the sun java jdk, but supply a nosrc.rpm for it. You have to download the jdk from java.sun.com and build the rpm using the specfile included in the nosrc.rpm. See the http://jpackage.org/rpm.php?id=2663 page for more info.

The weirdness with the [dag_i386] stuff is to be able to find i386 packages on my x86_64 arch. On a 32-bit machine the 1st entries are sufficient.

OOPS - haven't had my coffee yet. You wanted the 1.5 stuff. Sorry, Dag doesn't seem to have that yet.

My x86_64 repository used to be a merge of i386 and x86_64. Sadly Yum cannot handle this. (ie. it installs both archs) See Yum bugzilla for the report.
After a bunch of mails from confused Yum users I decided to keep them seperated.

Dag,
Thanks for the enlightenment on the reasoning. Only noticed the problem when trying to install packages that are i386-only on x86_64. It would be nice if the i386-only packages showed up in the x86_64 repo; however, that sounds likely to be an extra manual load on you, unless some bright person can suggest a way to automate the process.
Regards, Phil

To allow both the i386 and the x86_64 package to be installed on the same machine, some things need to be different. All the docs and setup files normally reside in the same shared location, so installing both can be a problem. (can't install xxx.x86_64 because file xxx is already installed and owned by package xxx.i386)
Because of the way RH supports multilib arches, they have spec files that allow certain, but not all, i386 and x86_64 to be installed simultaneously. Other times, you will have to pick either the i386 OR the x86_64 package.

Not only that, it also needs to pull in all dependencies and be smart enough to know when to upgrade to x86_64 and when to keep both.
Seems something Yum should be able to do, much like pinning and the protect-base functionality.
