[SOLVED] Install adoptopenjdk

[Chrisdb]

Hello,

I would like to install adoptopenjdk, but according to the site the recommended way is to add a ppa, even for Debian.

I know this is not the way for Debian to install a package, but what are the alternatives then? Or is it best to create a deb myself?

Thx

Received wisdom from "Don't Break Debian" is that new users should not use Ubuntu packages and PPAs to create a Frankendebian https://wiki.debian.org/DontBreakDebian

If you go down this route you should properly backup and be prepared for things to break.

Another method (still not recommended) is to use the adoptopenjdk repository. https://medium.com/adoptopenjdk/adoptop ... 03ba38144e

Again, properly backup and be prepared for things to break.

Seems great, just wondering why there's no mention of the build dependencies. Are they handled automatically by the --build option?

build dependencies

Install the devscripts package then run apt source (without the --build option), change into the source directory and run

Code: Select all

# mk-build-deps --install --remove

Then build the package:

Code: Select all

debuild -us -uc -jauto

Once it's built you can remove the build dependencies with

Code: Select all

# aptitude purge adoptopenjdk-build-deps

ok, so basically the same as a simple backport

Thx again HoaS!
