Hi all, I propose a drop of java-1_5_0-sun from openSUSE Factory/11.2. The EOSL date [1] of 1.5.0 ends on October 30 this year. That means Sun will stop release a public available updates of it (there's some extended support period, but just for those who has a contract with Sun). So we will be able support it just a few months after 11.2 release (and only if Sun will release an update of it) and then Sun will stop deliver public available updates for it. If there's any user who wants/needs it in openSUSE please let me know. I think that we can estabilish something like Java:sun5 OBS project and keep this package here. But I'll not maintain it.
