Hi everybody,
I'd like to share my conclusions about packaging of Java Advanced
Imaging:
- source code is available, but may not be freely distributed (JRL, JDL)
- therefore, publish a src.rpm only, including a fetch script but no
sources proper
- accept failure of the fetch-script ( like
fetch_src.sh %{version} || :
- thus permitting an individual user to have some prefetched tar.bz2 in
his/her SOURCES dir
- provide triggers to symlink jai-core.jar and jai-codec.jar into
any /usr/lib/jvm/java*/jre/lib/ext/
(BTW also provide triggers to symlink jai-imageio.jar into same
locations)
Cheers
Ralph Apel
