If you follow the JPackage conventions you will support any distribution which carries jpackage-utils. These include: ALT, Fedora, Mandriva, PCLOS, Red Hat, Suse, and possibly others.
OK, I'll give the JPackage stuff another look.My previous foray into jpackage was a mess of hand-building from src.rpms and other craziness just to get around things that were already provided easily from sun or otherwise, and I must admit, I was very turned off by the amount of manual work it took to install something when the whole point is to automate installation. =)
If the tools have gotten better, great, I'll give it another shot.
This also means, like I said in a previous email, that I don't think additional macros are needed, but check the macros file first and see if you think anything is missing.
Yeah, if everything conforms to the java/java-devel stuff, then it should work.
Thanks for the response, I'll do more investigation. -- Benjamin Reed The OpenNMS Group http://www.opennms.org/
