RHEL 5.3 brought with it some new additions pexepct ( congrats rsc, your package got in unmodified) java-1.6.0-openjdk (only on i386 and x86_64) we will need to ExclusiveArch ppc it.
In accordance with out guideline of not replacing RHEL packages we need to remove them. there are possibly others. Im going to get together a list of packages that moved from EPEL to RHEL. I will mark them dead in cvs and remove them from the repos.

In the past we left the packages in the repo until CentOS had released their latest version (CentOS 5.3 in this case) + two or three weeks for people to update to it. I assume that will be the case this time as well?

Yes, we will get the full list of what will be removed and publish it. and allow time to prepare. we should be able to remove the packages at the next stable push.

CentOS 5.3 has been on the streets since April 1.

Somewhat OT: Any chance of EPEL shipping a working Firefox Java plugin?

it is working... provided you replace the whole java stack with EPEL's build. See also https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=494265

Tried installing EPEL's whole stack. Sorry if I'm being dense, but BZ#49426 does not tell me how to get around the missing x86_64 pluginappletviewer cited in BZ#483881 that keeps the plugin from working. Am I missing something? (I see I missed explicitly mentioning x86_64 above. Works on i386.)
The error is: gcjwebplugin error: Failed to run /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0.x86_64/jre/lib/amd64/../../bin/pluginappletviewer. For more detail rerun "firefox -g" in a terminal window.

BTW - is there a better place for this discussion than epel-devel-list?

Actually it's a bit more comlicated then that, the browser plugin (java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin) was left out of RHEL... What do you think of keeping the src rpm (making sure it's in sync with RHEL) and _only_ pushing the plugin sub-package into EPEL?

If it works, and doesn't conflict... shouldn't be a problem.
