Why are we allowing JPackage to pull the same crap? 1) JPackage predates Fedora and it's predecessor in interest fedora.us. 2) The packages that are in question come from JPackage and were imported into Fedora (hence the jpp in version string). 3) Most of the JPackage repository is contained in generic, which has a goal of being the same set of packages for all distributions we support. Only JNI code (or similar) is in the distribution specific repositories, so removal of packages that conflict with Fedora from the generic repo harms our user base that is not on Fedora. 4) JPackage does not support Fedora exclusively (nor do we intend to), we support Mandriva, OpenSuSE, etc. 5) JPackage is not beholden to the Fedora project in any way, so you aren't allowing anything. We are an OSS project, just like Fedora is, except we focus on something different than an entire OS.
