Hello,
I'm trying to keep my Debian System absolutely run by apt-get, but I would like to get the latest version of the sun JDK, either from Blackdown or Sun, and compiled with gcc 3.
I found this file for the Blackdown SDK, and I think it's what I need. Only it's not a Debian package and that will mess up all my wonderful automatic dependency calculations. ;)
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/JDK-1.4.1/i386/01/j2sdk-1.4.1-01-linux-i586-gcc3.2.bin
I was wondering if anybody could tell me how I could convert that file to a Debian package somehow... maybe by tricking the old Blackdown package into using that binary or by creating a package or... I don't even know what to do. I'm reading through the APT HOWTO (again! :)), but I can't figure out how to do this. Is there any way to install either the latest sun java SDK OR the latest Blackdown java SDK via apt-get?
Thanks very much,
Dusty
