Hi all,


There is a program i would like to package (josm), only it doesn't
compile with gcj, but it does with icedtea. Can this go into fedora?

During the Fedora 8 Features FESCo meeting, the issue of build requiring IcedTea came up. The informal policy decision was that packages may build require IcedTea, but must still run on the base Fedora architectures (i386, x86_64, ppc, ppc64) without requiring external packages. For Fedora 8, that meant packages had to run on ppc/ppc64 libgcj. For Fedora 9, IcedTea's ppc/ppc64 interpreter should suffice. So while ideally the package would build on both, pragmatically I'd say go ahead and build require IcedTea.
