You can take bits from dag or rpmforge and import them in fedora one after the other because they are mostly independant apps (plus many more people know C or perl packaging than java packaging) You can not do the same for jpackage, you have a lot of fine-grained dependencies reaching several levels up to the jvm (so when the jvm changes you need a full synchronised rebuild or even spec rewrite like what's is happening right now in rawhide for C/C++ packages). Swallowing 500 packages at once, and them updating them is a large work. So large the effort is currently pooled at the jpackage level by rpm distros, and the fedora java group tries to minimise fc/jpp differences so they don't have to do it all by themselves. Take one of the rpm the dependency graphers and run it on jpp repo, it will enlighten you. -- Nicolas Mailhot
