You may remember my plea for assistance for help with
installing the JDK and all the archiving problems I had. I was wondering if
there was a concerted effort, anywhere, to create RPMs of the latest
releases.
Because my office network and CD writer, in a concerted
attempt, do not wish me to copy any file that ends with .tar or .bz2 I settled
for a jdk1.7 RPM and had no problems with it at all.
I know it is a bit selfish of me to ask for RPMs, and not more
generic distributions, but if it helps anyone to put java on their machine then
it can only be a good thing.
If someone knows of any method for generating RPMs I might
have a go myself.
Thanks.
James.
