RHSA-2014:0477 - Low: Oracle Java SE - Notification of Removal from Supplementary Channel
Synopsis
Low: Oracle Java SE - Notification of Removal from Supplementary Channel
Type/Severity
Security Advisory Low
Topic
Oracle Java SE packages will be moved from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 Supplementary Red Hat Network (RHN) channels to the Oracle Java for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 RHN channels.
Description
Oracle Java SE development (JDK) and runtime (JRE) software packages will be removed from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux Supplementary media and RHN channels. These packages will be relocated to a new set of channels that are dedicated to delivering Oracle Java software. Customers are advised to reconfigure their systems to use the new channels to ensure that they are receiving the latest updates to Oracle Java software.
Oracle Java software packages will be removed from Red Hat Enterprise Linux Supplementary media and RHN channels on May 8, 2014. Oracle Java will be available for online download via the new RHN channels.
This change affects the following packages:
- Oracle Java SE 5 (java-1.5.0-sun)
- Oracle Java SE 6 (java-1.6.0-sun)
- Oracle Java SE 7 (java-1.7.0-oracle)
Red Hat Enterprise Linux includes OpenJDK as the default Java development and runtime environment. Java development and runtime is also available from IBM via the Supplementary media and RHN channels. Access to OpenJDK and IBM JDK are not affected by this change.
Solution
Users are required to enable the new repository on their systems to access Oracle Java software. Refer to Red Hat Customer Portal Knowledgebase Solution 732883, linked to in the References section, for instructions on how to subscribe your systems to the new Oracle Java RHN channels.
