For everybody's benefit and entertainment, check out the comments in this bug report (re: jpackage). http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do;:WuuT?bug_id=4680244 The sad thing is that Sun recently posted a bunch of notes on their next product rev (Mustang), including how they plan to "fix" their RPM. From what I can tell, they completely ignore all of the requests to cooperate with the jpackage.org community: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6211006 (and be sure to read the comments in that one also) The Sun packaging issue is, of course, independent of whether or not java-gcj-compat exists, since we also have IBM and BEA JRE/JDK products which should be installable in parallel and managed via alternatives. It seems that the jpackage.org community has had little impact on how Sun is planning to package their products. Maybe IBM and BEA will have more luck if they try.
