Hi all, I'm considering drop of update-alternatives [1] support from our Java packages - mainly java-1_6_0-openjdk and java-1_6_0-sun (the gcj will follow, but no one is really interesting on it). I assume there is no real use case to have more than one implementation installed these days and in fact this system produces confusions for users wanting replace openjdk's plugin implementation by Sun's one (that's the ony one reason for switch I'd to say). The proposed change is to * drop u-a --install calls from %post/%preun scripts * install all files are now handled by alternatives system to /usr/bin * add Conflicts: otherproviders(jre) and so to all subpackages I'm also sure this change should be backported to released openSUSE versions, but don't want to decide on my own. We can be more conservative here, even if I don't think we need to be. So my questions are * Do you want drop u-a support from Java packages (sun, openjdk) from Factory? * Do you want backport such change to released openSUSE (anyone from maintenance@o.o here?)
