My simple solution to this problem has been to add an exclude= line to
my jpackage.repo file listing the names of all the Java packages that
shipped with FC4:<br>
<br>
[jpackage-generic]<br>
name=JPackage (free), generic<br>
mirrorlist=<a href="http://www.jpackage.org/jpackage_generic.txt">http://www.jpackage.org/jpackage_generic.txt</a><br>
failovermethod=priority<br>
gpgcheck=1<br>
gpgkey=<a href="http://www.jpackage.org/jpackage.asc">http://www.jpackage.org/jpackage.asc</a><br>
enabled=1<br>
exclude=ant, ant-antlr, ant-apache-bcel, ant-apache-log4j,
ant-apache-oro, ant-apache-regexp, ant-apache-resolver,
ant-commons-logging, ...<br>
<br>
and so on. The list of packages was built by grepping for
[0-9]*jpp_[0-9]*fc from the list of the packages that shipped with FC4,
then stripping off the version numbers.<br>
<br>
When I first saw the problem mentioned on this list I was surprised
that the <a href="http://jpackage.org">jpackage.org</a> site didn't suggest something like this to
prevent JPackage packages from replacing the Fedora ones.<br>
