I don't like the '---' either, but anyway, if Ville could detail even more
the changes (or just provide a diff between this one and the previous) so
that I can see what is going on with update-alternatives. It will help if
I have to update the 1.4.2 spec, and really my only experience with
update-alternatives is from these packages, so it will help anyway.

You can easily get one at 

http://www.zarb.org/horde/chora/diff.php/rpms/non-free/java-1.4.1-sun/Attic/java-1.4.1-sun.spec?sa=1&rt=jpackage&r1=1.1.2.25&r2=1.1.2.26&ty=h

Not that it's too easy to read:)

Hm, wonder why anyone hasn't yelled before, IMO they improve
readability, even with editors that do proper spec syntax highlighting.

I'm sure you already meant this, but there's nothing in this release
that would have introduced a *must* to port the fixes anywhere, they
affect only Sun's 1.4.1 packages.  But yes, we *should* port the fix :)

Sure, but I meant which 1.3.x version runs on RH9, Sun's 1.3.1_08?

I don't think I found any JVM broken by the RH9 upgrade at the time.
Though I honestly can't say if I tested any/all of them then.

Right now I have easy access to RH 7.3, 8.0 & RawHide systems, so I
won't vouch on anything for RH9. I *do* remember all hell broke loose
recently, but this was well past the RH9 release.

I think I'll have a go at porting the fix to Sun's latest 1.3.1, I need
it to rebuild Eclipse.

I don't know, could be.  I don't know why it was there so I didn't want
to touch it.  See the attached with-internal-deps.txt about what the
internal dep generator thinks about the main package's Provides: and
Requires:, and without-internal-deps.txt done with "%define
_use_internal_dependency_generator 0".

Yeah, there were some problems with incoming mail last night, everything
should work again now.

Also note that I've fiddled around with various %defines at the top of
the specfile, but that's only a consequence of the fixed linking of
alternatives.

Basically without it one or more of the subpackages wanted
libverify.so(VER_1) but we didn't provide it.
