Fedora is a community effort, and a product of scratching ones own itch. It seems that the only packages brought over were the ones that were explicitly needed by somebody, and the dependencies thereof. If somebody wanted to make a project out of bringing everything jpackage has to offer that we can ship in Fedora, that would be awesome. It'd take a lot of work, but it could perhaps help out this situation where people want interleaving or intermixing. If we have everything, there isn't any reason to intermix. Perhaps the proposal I'm working on to have jpackage make use of Fedora provided infrastructure will make it easier to bring jpackage things into Fedora, and make it easier to keep the change flows continuing. One wonders what the likes of Novell does for their java stuff, like OpenOffice and such. -- Jesse Keating Fedora -- Freedom² is a feature!
