[fedora-java] Fedora Extras submission - classpath-0.92

[Paul]

Hi,

This is my first java package submitted to fedora extras and it's been
suggested on #fedora-java that this would be the best place to talk
about it. Please remember that though I've submitted quite a lot of
packages for various languages to FE, this is my first java one so if I
seem kinda dumb or ask blindingly obvious questions, this is the reason.

If you point your browsers to BZ#207077 you will see that I've submitted
GNU classpath-0.92 for inclusion.

The discussion on #fedora-java is that libgcj is roughly equal to a
version of classpath. However, when I've come to compile ikvm (already
in FE, though as a compiled binary only) or Limewire, libgcj can't hack
it, but classpath-0.92 just did the business and everything compiled.

Am I widdling into the wind by submitting this or is libgcj just that
bit too far from classpath-0.92?

Second to this is a packaging problem.

Most of classpath goes straight into %{_libdir}, but two files are
directed to /usr/lib (a logging and a security file). Is this the
correct behaviour, or should I patch to ensure everything goes to the
correct %{_libdir}?

TTFN

Paul
