This is not about to foul.

It's about to understand what's going on and then you'll see what's missing. As soon as you know what's required you know what the pseudo package has to provide.

Well, I assume that the people that did the packaging of JRE in the past would know how to create that rpm in an instant. For me it is next to impossible.

But this only makes sense if someone is willing to maintain this as I tried to outline in the mail accessible from the archive URL quoted above.

But this fake rpm doesn't need maintenance, it stays the same for the entire life of a distro, I believe. You don't even need to bump versions, because the real rpm containing java is installed by the user, it is his responsibility. The task of this rpm is only to fool yast (or whatever word you like) so that we do not need to install another java. If someone wants to provide one that also does the fetching and installing, that would be wonderful - but it is not really needed. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
