But such JVMs do not need to be made the system default at all, people can just run $expensive_app with it by whatever means they like (e.g. direct modification of $PATH, $JAVA_HOME, etc _for that specific app_). Providing an easy way for admins to alter the system default JVM to something which will break expectations of software _we_ ship (in Fedora or EPEL) just doesn't make sense to me. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
