It is distribution agnostic. Were the 6+ RPM-based distributions I mentioned in a previous email not agnostic enough? Even Debian/Ubuntu follow the same layout for JVM's. But you were speaking of an RPM build, so that covers ever major RPM distro I know of. And if you allow $JAVA_HOME and --with-java-home= as a configure option, and try /usr/lib/jvm/java first if none is specficed, then you will also support Ubuntu out of the box without resorting to a hack. - -- Sincerely, David Walluck <david@xxxxxxxx> -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mandriva - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkhrq6IACgkQItObMyg2XCXaRwCfSZSBoPkDLORYmSElqeiVpaUP xh8Ani1hNq8Jb55LZ8pOTbhE2gX7R58r =A+P5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- fedora-devel-java-list mailing list fedora-devel-java-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-java-list
