I believe complicating hundreds of packages in Fedora for something like this would be an extremely bad idea. If we have to live with small incompatibility for a few years, so be it. But long term, we'll have a nice clean Java packaging. Moreover It only affects rpms/specs from F21+ that would like to be installed on EL5/6 For what it's worth even most current Java packages are not compatible even with EL6 due to automatic requires handling and other changes. -- Stanislav Ochotnicky <sochotnicky@xxxxxxxxxx> Software Engineer - Developer Experience PGP: 7B087241 Red Hat Inc. http://cz.redhat.com -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
