They're here: http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.jpackage.general/14404
in archives of this list.
I'm.... reluctant to say "here, stuff in extra symlinks in /usr/bin
just for one package that are not actually part of that package". That
way lies maintenance madness. It *is* possible to compile an RPM
differently under different releases. or to it in a separate
compatibility widget. (I went through that with OpenSSH recently, a
custom version someone built on RHEL 3 and expected to work on RHEL 5:
it was very confused about where "xauth" was.)
But I'm looking at http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/jpackage/6.0/, and I'm
not even seeing hooks for RHEL 4. Is it worth pursuing compatibility
with that OS? Are other people using it?
