Please note that Java 8 reached its end of public updates and Oracle will not release any more updates after January 2019. For details please see https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/java-se-support-roadmap.html

Introduction

Java 8 packages for Debian.

Supported Debian versions

So far packages were tested on following Debian versions:

• buster i386/amd64
• stretch i386/amd64
• jessie i386/amd64

I do not have resources to test packages on Ubuntu. However, if one finds any problem on Ubuntu, feel free to report an issue and I will try to resolve it.

Usage

To create packages on your own:

• apt-get install debhelper
• git clone git://github.com/rraptorr/oracle-java8.git
• cd oracle-java8
• download jdk-8u241-linux-x64.tar.gz and jdk-8u241-linux-i586.tar.gz
• sh ./prepare.sh
• dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us
• install any missing packages that dpkg-buildpackage complains about and repeat

Legal

Oracle does not permit to distribute repackaged binaries of Java, so be advised that hosting any public repository with Java packages is probably illegal (at least in some parts of the world).

On the other hand, this repository contains only scripts, that allows one to repackage Oracle Java in Debian friendly way. No binaries are or will be hosted.
