Subject: builder.yml: look up java alternative path on RedHat
X-Git-Url: http://git-server-git.apps.pok.os.sepia.ceph.com/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3d1722eca4b8decd14d546087b401cec7513eaed;p=ceph-build.git

builder.yml: look up java alternative path on RedHat

'update-alternatives --set java java-21-openjdk.x86_64' fails on newer
EL releases with 'java-21-openjdk.x86_64 has not been configured as an
alternative for java' because the java alternative is registered under
its full JVM path instead of the family name.

Query 'alternatives --display java' for the installed path matching
java_version and pass that to the alternatives module, mirroring the
Debian block above.
