Why is Java not updated to the latest version in Red Hat Satellite channels?
Issue
- Why are the Java packages in Red Hat Satellite channels not the latest version like in Red Hat Enterprise Linux Supplementary channel?
- Getting alerts from security audits because the version of Java included in Red Hat Satellite 5.X has several security flaws.
- Why is the latest security errata for
java-1.6.0-ibm
in Red Hat Satellite channel only RHSA-2015:1486 when there are many newer RHSA for the same rpm in supplementary channel (ie. RHSA-2016:0101 or RHSA-2016-0708)?
Environment
- Red Hat Satellite 5.x (current supported versions)
