Hey, thanks. I'm trying it out.
There was some issue with the build on x86_64 and I created a new SRPM: http://www.argeo.org/linux/argeo-el/5.4/plus/SRPMS/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0....
Please test with this one.
Or you can download ready made binaries:
x86_64 (take the one with .2.x86_64 at the end): http://www.argeo.org/linux/argeo-el/5.4/plus/x86_64/
i386: http://www.argeo.org/linux/argeo-el/5.4/plus/i386/
I'm concerned the yum update against the base/updates of Centos will keep trying to install that crappy older version that Centos carries. Have you tested that?
No I have no tested that, neither the i386 to be frank. I will see if I can find time to set up a yum repo today, so that it will make it easier.
If there is interest (please let me know), I am also considering creating a package which will NOT override the existing one.
