First we shoud try to use default (which usually is latest) version avaliable in Fedora, creating patch if necessary and sending it upstream. If it is impractical to port to latest version then creating compat package is acceptable as alternative solution. Current Java packaging state it very easy (maybe even too easy) to create such compat packages. -- Mikolaj Izdebski Java SIG -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
