I dunno any enterprise Java developers who are using OpenJDK for any 
production work yet.  sure, people are watching it to see how it comes

production grade at places like where I work.


Well ... that still does not make older versions of sun java 
redistributable :D


if/when upstream rolls java into RHEL in a way that is redistributable, 
we will build it also for CentOS.

[CentOS] centos 5.2 / sun java ?

2008-08-09 Thread Stephan van Hienen

Starting with rhel 5.2, Redhat provides sun java in the Supplementary channel.
Are there any plans to release sun-java in the centos extra or plus repo ?

Would be nice to keep sun java up to date using yum.

Thnx,

Stephan
