[meta-java] unversioned source files

[meta-java] unversioned source files

[Gary Thomas]

I just built the latest openjdk-7 and noticed that there are
a number of source files downloaded that have no version
information:
   sources/corba.tar.bz2
   sources/hotspot.tar.bz2
   sources/jaxp.tar.bz2
   sources/jaxws.tar.bz2
   sources/jdk.tar.bz2
   sources/langtools.tar.bz2
   sources/openjdk.tar.bz2

This seems very problematic to me - how is this expected to work,
especially when there are changes?

The original download file doesn' t have version in the name:
http://icedtea.wildebeest.org/download/drops/icedtea7/2.7.0/corba.tar.bz2

Yeah, there is potential issue, we should fix it by using "downloadfilename"
in SRC_URI to rename those files.

Thanks,

Yes, this should really be the case.  As it is, it's not possible
to build openjdk-7 and then build openjdk-8 as the files clash :-(

Okay,

but when we copy them into the buildir we must use the old name, because
icedtea/openjdk configure script checks for them and will download them itself if not found.

Thinking about it, I'm not sure even these changes will really
help, especially for local mirrors.

Hasn't this topic ever been discussed with the upstream?  It would
seem very important!
