I just tried the latest java-gcj-compat (62) rpm and are you suggesting
moving the bcprov jar there? Currently, if it's not in
/usr/share/java/gcj-endorsed, then gcj cannot find it. Note, this is
where jessie and gnu-crypto are already and bc is no different as far as
I can see.
I'd like to suggest that we move all of these providers out
of /usr/share/java/gcj-endorsed and into the appropriate extensions
directory. My understanding is that's where providers belong, and the
endorsed directories are reserved for packages within the special
endorsed namespaces.
Also, some of the symlinks in /usr/share/java/gcj-endorsed are
versioned, while others are not. What is the policy here?
No idea.
