Blackdown java in rpm format

2004-03-08 Thread Troy Dawson
Hello,
I'm sorry if this has been asked before, but in searching through your 
archives and web pages I haven't found this question or answer.

I need to use blackdown's 1.4.1 jre, because that is the only plugin I've 
found that actually works correctly with RedHat Enterprise 3's mozilla and the 
Remedy Web Client.

I am familier with Sun's Java License, and we actually do have permission from 
them to redistribute their rpm's as we also have the licenses in the same 
place as the rpm's, and we don't change anything with the rpm's, etc...

But blackdown does not have their java packaged in an rpm format, and that is 
the format that I need.  So my question is this.

Can I take blackdown's java and package it up in an rpm?
I will not change the binaries at all, as well as make sure that rpm doesn't 
do it's 'stip' function.
I will follow all the same rules that I have been following to distribute 
sun's java.

enlightened.

provides nosrc.rpm for blackdown, sun, ibm, jrockit. plus rpms of many OSS java apps.

Thanks for the pointer Paul.
Unfortunatly the plugin is very finicky for some odd reason and didn't like 
the layout (that's just a guess).  Everytime I tried it on the web client it 
kept comming up with something like JavaApplet noinit.
Since I am under a time restraint I wasn't able to investigate further and 
simply went to the brute force method of just making an rpm that installed the 
whole tree in place, then link the plugin.
I also used your trigger and postun scripts for the pluggin.  In the changelog 
I gave credit for these to the JPackage Project, but if there someone specific 
that should be credited for those, please let me know.
