I was just looking at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Java and saw that it mentions installing packages from JPackage directly. Note that it's not actually possible, in my experience, to install packages from JPackage on Fedora 7 because of the following: - Fedora has an RPM-older version of jpackage-utils than JPackage - Fedora's jpackage-utils provides rebuild-security-providers, while JPackage's doesn't - All of the JPackage packages depend on their version of jpackage-utils - Many of the Fedora packages depend on rebuild-security-providers All of this means that JPackage packages can't really be used on Fedora. There are also issues to do with Lucene and Geronimo, but they're probably less fundamental. I described all of this in a post to the JPackage list in June when I first tried using JPackage on Fedora: https://www.zarb.org/pipermail/jpackage-discuss/2007-June/011536.html Also, the highest version of Fedora that JPackage seems to officially support is FC6 (see http://www.jpackage.org/yum.php). So I'm not sure it's helpful even to point people at JPackage for Fedora 8, because I'm not sure there's much useful they can do with it.
