perfsonar development work

[Mario Reale <>]

Hi Hans,

I had observed the same problem while installing other pS services on FC9.
The only option I had found to still use the repositories was the 
simultaneous yum install of the   <ps package name>  and   jdk  - after 
having added the   jpackage repository to the yum repo config files.
( in order to make Java accessible via YUM).

For example:
yum install    geant2-java-xml-ls-1.3-1.noarch     jdk-1.5.0_16       
java-1.5.0-sun-compat     tomcat5-webapps   tomcat5-admin-webapps

But to fix things as you suggest would be ideal.
If you scan through the yum  failed install log lines, which is the 
first update/install transaction requiring 

java-1.6.0-sun-compat   ?


Ciao
Mario
