Handle Java updates & multiple versions

JakubVanek opened this issue 7 years ago · 3 comments

Oracle wasn't releasing minor Java updates for EV3, so we were stuck with one version. This has changed - openjdk-ev3 can be rebuilt at any time.

Maybe the installer could do periodic auto-update?
Or we could create a repository for the packages and download them via APT.

The idea about Oracle stuff is previous to @JakubVanek age! :)

Now, the idea with Installer project is the automation of everything related with the project in an easy way. The first step is the JVM to run the programs. Later other debian packages like OpenCV for example.

This will probably be handled with Debian packages and update-java-alternatives.
