If you have the epel repo installed and enabled during a yum update, you get java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0-1.0.b12.el5.2 instead of the stock .b09 version. Is this intentional and desirable? I thought epel generally did not replace stock components with newer versions.
EPEL doesn't replace rhel5 packages, true, and afaict, openjdk isn't in rhel5. Perhaps a centos addon/extra?
That might have been true at one point in time but it isn't now. On a stock RHEL5.x you can say 'yum install java-1.6.0-openjdk' and you get a copy that appears to be built from what you find here: ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/os/SRPMS/ and pretty much the same in CentOS - if you don't have epel enabled.
I have a local centos5 mirror, and couldn't find openjdk rpms anywhere. wtf?
