Trying to follow JPackage installations per Paul Howath per FC4 for FC5

[Dan Thurman]

Folks,

I am trying to get a Java development environment setup and
I was directed to follow the FC4 jpackage instructions but
for FC5 and apparently the first thing required was to install
fedora-rpmdevtools from the extras repository but this file
is nowhere to be found!

All I got for the list is:

fedora-buildrpmtree     Create RPM build tree within user's home
directory
fedora-installdevkeys   Install GPG keys in alternate RPM keyring
fedora-kmodhelper       Helper script for building kernel module RPMs
fedora-md5              Display the md5sum of all files in an RPM
fedora-newrpmspec       Creates new .spec from template
fedora-rmdevelrpms      Find (and optionally remove) "development" RPMs
fedora-rpmchecksig      Check package signatures using alternate RPM
keyring
fedora-rpminfo          Prints information about executables and
libraries
fedora-rpmvercmp        RPM version comparison checker
fedora-extract          Extract various archives, "tar xvf" style
fedora-diffarchive      Diff contents of two archives
fedora-wipebuildtree    Erase all files within dirs created by
buildrpmtree
spectool                Expand and download sources and patches in
specfiles


So - where is it... or is this step omitted for FC5 now?

Kind regards,
Dan

Dan,
please use the fedora-list, fc5 is no more a development release.


Try:
rpm -qf `which fedora-buildrpmtree`

fedora-rpmdevtools is the name of the package, not the name of a
specific command.

Those commands are part of the fedora-rpmdevtools package.

You appear to have it (or at least have access to it).

Looks like the package must have been renamed, since the next step in 
Paul's HOWTO is to run fedora-buildrpmtree to create the RPM packaging 
infrastructure for a non-root user. Maybe the renamed package should 
include a virtual Provides for the old name.
