    Java 6 Update 2

    Just wondering what the release schedule is for Java 6 updates?

    We've skipped update 1, and update 2 has just been released. Are there any plans to bring to the sun-java6-* packages up to date, or is this going to be put off until the Gibbon release?

    Yeah I'd really like to install update 2 for Java 6 since there is a security patch in it. Can't find any info on how to install it.

    Tried that first. didn't work out. That's why I was wondering if there was a better way to do it.

    Try using Automatix2, I think that'll get you the current Java

    Re: Java 6 Update 2

    Whether I use synaptics or automatix2 or just apt-get, I do not get this version of Java: 1.6.0_02 (build 1.6.0_02-b05). Instead, I always get 1.6.0 (build 1.6.0-b105).

    If I try to make-jpkg from the Sun download, I get this result:

    $ fakeroot make-jpkg jdk-6u2-linux-i586.bin
    Creating temporary directory: /tmp/make-jpkg.ggLoS25962
    Loading plugins: blackdown-j2re.sh blackdown-j2sdk.sh common.sh ibm-j2re.sh ibm-j2sdk.sh j2re.sh j2sdk-doc.sh j2sdk.sh j2se.sh sun-j2re.sh sun-j2sdk-doc.sh sun-j2sdk.sh

    Detected Debian build architecture: i386
    Detected Debian GNU type: i486-linux-gnu

    No matching plugin was found.
    Removing temporary directory: done

    Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I found that if I took rev 31 of java-packages (found here: <https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/+source/java-package/0.31>, I could install Java 6u2.

    Re: Java 6 Update 2

    I was under the impression that the applications in the repository lists were to be automatically updated every once in a while. That appears to apply to some of the apps while others are left out. What is the deciding factor and what can be done to improve the current situation?
