> We've encountered some minor issues with a few package which were kind
> of hard to track down. They were partially caused by a bug in yum which
> causes both gcj and openjdk being pulled in when only one of them should
> be. The other part was small and hard to spot packaging issues which
> caused gcj getting accidentaly pulled into BR instead openjdk
> 
> Now there are legitimate reasons to require gcj directly, but I'd like
> to propose removing "Provides: java = %{javaver}" (and -devel
> counterpart). I think leaving rest of the provides should not be an
> issue.
> 
> This way we'll be able to remove obscure need for "Requires: java >= 1:1.6.0"
> 
> I am CCing Deepak as primary maintainer. Does anyone have strong
> objections for said removal?
