Memleak in Sun Java 6 on ubuntu feisty

Using ubuntu 7.04 (Feisty Fawn) I also noticed Java programs would bog down the system. I'm on an Acer Aspire 3003.

the newest java in gutsy fixes this issue, I have it backported to mozilla-testing repo due to the firefox update in that repo and it has been confirmed to fix the issue. I will see if i cant get an ok on a fix maybe backport update1 when we get it in gutsy.

assigning to me for now

Rohan and natbet,
Thank you for testing the java packages in the Mozilla team repo, I talked to our java devel and it doesnt fit within the specs needed to be added to multiverse so i will be talking to the backport people when i see him, In the mean time i uploaded (spent all damn night ) sun-java5 update 12 and sun-java6 update 1 to the repo please let me know if it is still fixed, It may be a while before i see him since i havent seen him in a while (3weeks or so). But i will keep my repo pretty much up to date (as much as i can without breaking things)

Thanks a lot John, for following this issue. It is strange when such a issue "does not fit the criteria", when it causes the complete system to hang.

However, John, the packages listed here - http://gnomefreak.youmortals.com/mozilla-testing/dists/feisty/main/binary-i386/ - are the same as me and natbet downloaded the other day. Are the updated packages uploaded to some other repo ? I will download them tonight, and try it out :-)

Ouch, my mistake, sorry, I did not notice the 01 packages. I will download them tonight (about 9-10 hours from now) and report back here.

having one CVE advisory fixed, the packages may qualify for -proposed.

Matthias thank you

John, the Sun Java 6 Update 1 packages work perfectly, and they cause no memleak. I am using eclispe for a long time, and it's working perfectly.

Bump .. Any updates ? :)

Unassigning myself.
Matthias, What exactly is the way to handle a backport of this? I can spin this and upload to revu if that is the way we need to get this in Feisty? Let me know after sprint as i know eveyone is fairly tied up with that this coming week. I will do whatever i can to get this backported for the feisty users.

This builds fine please backport

Added feisty-backports task set to confirmed

Please don't mark your task as confirmed unless somebody has tested the backport process.

b/i/r in prevu

Hello. Since this bug has not yet been fixed, can the packages please be the recently released Java 6 update 2 ? Thanks.

http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

I already built and tested it for feisty so i am ablet o mork it confirmed.

For java6 update 2 to make it into backports it first has to be updated in gutsy and this has not been done yet.

Also i see no need for the backports task since this quilifies for proposed into security closing backport task as not gonna be a backport.

Working on getting it ready for -proposed

Here is the debdiff im trying to break it down a bit, I doubt this one is any good but i will work on it sometime late this week since i will be traveling
http://gnomefreak.youmortals.com/sun-java6_6-01-0ubuntu1~7.04.0.debdiff

I doubt the debdiff is useful - can you link to the source package (.orig.tar.gz, .dsc, .diff.gz) somewhere?

Daniel i used gutsy source to build for feisty than debdiff'ed feisty>gutsy. it looks like the script in the sun-java6 package collects the source from java.com somewhere. I just got pc hooked up (i am away from home for the next month or so.) i will try to look at scripts when i get time and see if it is an easy change in script to grab the newest sun upstream source. Unless you think using Gutsy's source like we do for backports is acceptible.)

Thanks for your effort John. Basically, we have a typo in your changelog. Btw, I have been using java6 on Feisty and has no problem here... I recommend a lecture of https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/SRU

Oh. s/lecture/reading/g :)
Sorry!

I have been very sick lately and i had hard-drive issues so my pc that i use to build is down for a while until i can get feeling better and rebuild unles someone wants to please finish this for feisty-proposed/security.

Matthias: can you please see what the state of this is?

http://gnomefreak.youmortals.com/sun-java6_6-01-0ubuntu1~7.04.0.debdiff not available, unsubscribing u-u-s.

Daniel sorry about that but the domain i was using (i guess the guy that gave me space on it dis doing something else (i havent seen him on iRC in a while (since domain started redirecting) if you want i can come up with it again just have to find a place to post it.

Please post debdiffs as attachments to the bug report. The launchpad librarian will take care about it.

Phillpp if it was 200mb maybe i would have but since LP wouldnt except it i couldnt post it here.

The package is already updated!
