But I'm looking at http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/jpackage/6.0/, and I'm not even seeing hooks for RHEL 4. Is it worth pursuing compatibility with that OS? Are other people using it?
Well all the source rpms are there. If they will build under EL4 that is another thing to see. i don't think it would be worth the effort in doing so in my opinion because of the age of EL4. On the other hand if I had applications running under EL4 then it would be an huge advantage to me in doing so. I would be trying my best to migrate them to at least EL5 asap. I would stick with EL5 and EL6 that's enough in itself to keep up with. Building for 3 different Java stacks (el 4,5,6) would be a pita.
