Alexander, While I hadn't seen the note on Java in the release notes, I had seen the JPackage web page on creating nosrc rpms. However the instructions are about as clear as mud. In particular, they mention on... http://mpeters.us/linux/j2sdk.php#create_rpm ...using the appropriate nosrc.rpm. However the ones I can find on www.jpackage.org are for 1.4.2 and not 1.5.0 (which is what the Fedora release notes recommend). Jack
