I can cause some difficulties to ant's RPM-distribution-linux-users as it's
directory scheme follows the some Linux file system standards, not the
original ant distribution. (On the other hand it can be repaired with some
symlinks. So, at least a warning would be nice. E.g. the ant binary structure
is this one:
/usr/doc/ant-1.2
/usr/doc/ant-1.2/LICENSE
/usr/doc/ant-1.2/README
/usr/doc/ant-1.2/TODO
/usr/doc/ant-1.2/WHATSNEW
/usr/share/ant/bin/antRun
/usr/share/java/ant.jar
/usr/share/java/jaxp.jar
/usr/share/java/optional.jar
/usr/share/java/parser.jar)
