Description Daniel Bornkessel 2005-11-14 16:30:54 UTC

While trying to package Java for SUSE I came across the following problem in 
the SDK for x86_64, (file IBMJava2-SDK-AMD64-142.x86_64.tgz, SR3):

The bin directory contains a symbolic link 

bin/utetcf -> ../jre/bin/utetcf

however, the binary ../jre/bin/utetcf is not included (in the SDKs for other 
platforms it is included).

Hi Daniel,
I'm not involved in Java development. Did you simply want me to mirror this back to the IBM Bugzilla?

Comment 2 Daniel Bornkessel 2005-12-16 14:12:46 UTC

I took the file from another IBM 64 Bit SDK, which seems to work. However, this is just a hack and shouldn't be the way to handle that problem.

I am trying to mirror this through IBM's LTC bugzilla for which I already opened a bug for since I verified the missing file/broken symlink and went ahead and reported it to Java support. Hopefully, I'll get the two bugs synched up soon. Thanks for your patience.

I received the following update from Java support:

The utetcf file is not actually required on the Java 1.4.2 Linux  AMD64
build (but it is required for the other Linux 1.4.2 builds).
The symlink is therefore extraneous and not required. I\'ll look at
altering the packaging to remove the symlink for the AMD64 builds.

Comment 5 Daniel Bornkessel 2006-01-25 15:51:10 UTC

Ok, good to know.
Adjusted spec file to delete symbolic link.

The correction to the dangling symlink apperently did not make the Java 1.4.2
SR4 release that was made public at the end of last month. Though I see that you
have already marked the Novell bug as RESOLVED.

Comment 7 Daniel Bornkessel 2006-02-06 21:40:02 UTC

Yes, because I am just deleting the symlink when building the package as it is not needed.
