The current situation really *is* what Andrew Haley proposed. I guess that though the comps file does not have arch-specific bits, the installation is determined by arch-specific dependencies in the packages. That was exactly what has brought my attention to this: the differences between the two java's (e.g. that jni.h is installed to the default include path by gcj but not by openjdk, different javadocs) make the good old generic BuildRequires: java-devel very problematic, so I had to change it to BuildRequires: java-1.5.0-gcj-devel Well, my package builds fine with gcj and my conscience is clear as I have reported this, so all is fine. :-) Stepan -- fedora-devel-java-list mailing list fedora-devel-java-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-java-list
