You have a bad habit of trying to put words into other people's mouths.
Just stop doing that. All distributions have conflicting repositories.
You can avoid choosing conflicting repositories or workaround them by
assigning a priority or any number of other methods. That's your choice.
I have suggested nothing one way or another and implying that I did is
just plain lying.
OK, please supply your own words. Jpackage.org has a perfectly fine
repository. Fedora copies some, but not all of those packages into a
potentially conflicting repository. Any argument so far? You did say
we learn to work with repository conflicts. If you don't want me to
guess what you meant about that, please be specific as to what you think
someone should do who wants the jpackage versions and their additional
content now. How do you work around a distribution's base repository,
particularly when there are dependencies embedded in other packages?
