Is there some way we could automate the RPM and grab the sources on
the fly like wrapper packages on some of the distributions do? I would
be nice to make this process a lot cleaner. I know this could be
difficult due to licensing/ click-through.
Because of licensing constraints by Sun _WE_ are not allowed to
redistribute a complete .src.rpm which includes all files. But _YOU_ can
roll your own complete .src.rpm for personal automation purposes, of
course. Just unpack the .nosrc.rpm, download all missing files from Sun
and then roll the .src.rpm via "openpkg rpm -bs --norestriction *.spec"
and you will end up with a complete .src.rpm which works just fine in
full batch/automation processes.
I'm not talking about distributing the files, just getting them at
install time. Instead of listing them as sources, have the spec do a
wget or equivalent of the source for the current platform. This is what
I mean by "wrapper". It is a very different approach to RPMs than is
usually done, though.
I also signed the contributor agreement, so I'd like to update
java-jdk16 to u10 and fix a typo in the name of the docs zip.
Just send us a diff(1) output here or tell us what has to be changed.
I'll send up diffs later today.
