Java Package Naming
by Carwyn Edwards
I'm in the process of coming up with a package naming policy for our
internal use hence I've been reading these kinds of things:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackageNamingGuidelines
http://svn.rpmforge.net/svn/trunk/docs/naming-policy.txt
I've come up with a plan for dealing with FC, Extras and RPMforge and
the like, but then I started thinking about JPackage. I have some questions:
Q1. What are Fedora planning to do in relation to release tag naming and
jpp packages?
At the moment Rawhide is using <jpp version>jpp_<fc version>(fc|rh).
This seems a little at odds with the draft Fedora naming guidelines (I
know they've only just been written in draft :-)).
The motivation for this question is to do with our desire to ship local
modifications to jpp packages and still have a sensible upgrade path. Up
to now I've been able to simply tack on a suffix to the jpp version. If
however another upstream repo (FC) is also using the suffix approach
then things start to get interesting :-) (1jpp_3fc vs 1jpp.1.local)
Q2. Are Fedora going to feed packages upstream as a priority then tweak
them for their local purposes afterwards? Another way of asking this is
- will FC Java packages that could also end up in JPackage always going
to have a Xjpp prefix in the release tag? If not then things like this
can happen:
javafoo-1.2.3-1 (RH put this in fc)
javafoo-1.2.3-1jpp (pushed upstream)
.. then RH want to update javafoo:
javafoo-1.2.3-1jpp_1fc ??
Actually this works, but I guess it would be nice to define it.
I have some ideas on this (dropping the underscores for one) but thought
I'd ask first :-)

ant & gcj4
by Caolán McNamara
I'm fairly clueless about java stuff, but in rawhide is there a way to
tell ant to build things with gcj4. e.g. in the context of building some
java bits with gcj4 through ant during rpmbuilding something.

Requesting your urgent investment partnership
by DR. SALIF MAMADOU
Dear Friend,
I am pleased to introduce a business opportunity to you to transfer to your overseas account a huge amount of money deposited in one of the Prime Banks here in Dakar-Senegal. I urgently want to know you and if you are capable of handling and accomodate this magnitude of funds until I resign and come over to join you for an investment in your country. What I need is a reliable and honest individual/organisation that would be capable and fit enough to provide either an existing bank account or set up a new Bank Account immediately to receive this funds. Even an empty bank account can serve to receive this funds as long as you will remain honest to me till we actualise this interest.
My name is Dr. Salif Mamadou, the Director of Bill and Exchange at the Foreign Remittance Department of the same bank. I am writing following the impressive information about you through one of my friends who runs a consultancy firm. He assured me of your capability and reliability to champion this business opportunity.
In my department we discovered an abandoned Sum of $18.5M USD Eighteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars), in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customers an American by name: Mr.Neal Walker who died along with other passengers in EgyptAir Flight 990 - October 31, 1999. Please do view this very site for more information about our deceased client: www.greatdreams.com/PassEAir990.htm. Since we got information about his death, we have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless somebody applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased and the person must be foreigner as indicated in our banking guidelines. Futher investigation, we discovered that the owner of the account died without a [Heir/WILL] hence the money is floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.
It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in bank now decided to make this businness proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we do not want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill. The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclamed after five years, the money will be transfered into the Bank treasury account as unclaimed fund.
The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and I can not stand as next of kin to a foreigner,it is also against our the banking law, guideline and ethics of banks here in my country. We have agreed that 20 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incured during the business and 70 % would be for me and my colleagues. There after I and my colleagues will visit your country for
disbursement according to the percentages indicated.
Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as requested to provide the following: Your full name and address, Your direct telephone and fax number and your bank information. All the requested information will enable me perfect all the necessary things in your favour for smooth transfer of the fund into you account as you will provide.

Upon your response, I shall provide you with more details on how we shall proceed with the claims.

gcj4 status in FC4
by Ziga Mahkovec
I searched through the GCC mailing lists to find an answer, but I guess
I'll get it here quicker:
How much of the recent work on gcj can we expect in gcc4 (and
consequently in FC4)? Specifically, will the recent imageio and
AWT/cairo improvements from the java-gui-20050128-branch be available?
Thanks,
