overview
- down load the files from the java download site to /tmp. You will use gtar -C <path> or execute *.bin to put the files to the directory.
- check space availablity for each target directory by running checkQuota
- make sure you are in the shadow directory, e.g. /afs/.slac... and not /afs/slac (dot slac, not just slac)
- IF you get an executable (*.bin) then use the installJava script and you create the jdk-* subdirectory under each OS directory first, e.g. linux, solaris, etc.
- IF you get zipped tarballs (*.gz) use the installJava7 script which uses gtar -C to unpack and create/install the directories.
- change the patch variable in the install script (installJava or installJava7) to the latest patch number
- cd to the place where you downloaded all the files, e.g. /tmp on glastlnx07
- Make sure to change the patch number before running the script.
- Edit the install script and check that the new version names will unpack properly. Run the installJava* script.
- run the release script to deploy the new versions to the read-only disk.
- restart the test server and check that everything still works
- restart all the other servers. Use the server monitoring page to do this. If that doesn't work, logon to the machine and run the stop/start scripts.
- update the web page (see url address below)
- announce to mailing lists (see list names below)
- (optional) if you need to change the default version update javawrap script
