Re: [fedora-java] Warning: Removing commons-* symlinks

Hi,
As some of you may know, apache-commons packages usually install their
jar(s) to apache-commons-*.jar and provides a symlink named
commons-*.jar. Some also provide a similar symlink for the javadoc
directory, some don't.
The shorter symlink doesn't provides any advantage (at least, I don't
know any) but causes trouble from time to time (e.g.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447156) and clutters javadir
and javadocdir. Therefore, I'll remove both the jar and the javadoc
symlink at least for the apache-commons packages I (co-)maintain.
Please check you spec file if you are using one of those and adapt
accordingly. If you are a apache-commons maintainer (Carl, Mat, Mohamed,
Orion and Sandro), please consider to do the same for your packages or
let me know if you want me to do it for you.
Regards, Chris

Feel free to do so on my packages, I'm really bogged down right now. I
can grant you co-maintainership if you need it.
