AFAIK the bug you pointed to was to correct the md5sums issues for mutltiarch builds. From the bug: brp-java-repack-jars is a post processing script included in redhat-rpm-config that removes timestamp differences in jars to ensure multi-lib packages do not conflict. > Also, is there any chance of duplicating those Red Hat sun jdk rpms?

Debain agreed to indemnify Sun ... we won't. Thanks, Johnny hUghes -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
