All of the packages which originated from the JPackage repository had a "repotag" of jpp on them. When they were merged into Fedora Core (pre-Core/Extras merge), they kept their jpp repotag. When the merger happened, we tried to get rid of the repotag, because it was a violation of the NamingGuidelines, but we got a huge amount of pushback on this. Finally, simply to get past the issue, we drafted a temporary compromise, letting the repotag remain until it was no longer useful. The intent was to provide some time for the Java packagers to work out alternate methods to perform the tasks that they were reliant upon the repotag for... but no such work ever took place. In fact, upon retrospection, I'm not entirely sure what value the repotag holds, which is why it either needs to be thoroughly rationalized, or gotten rid of entirely. ~spot -- Fedora-packaging mailing list Fedora-packaging@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-packaging
