This is Rawhide rpmlint: $ rpm -q rpmlint rpmlint-0.82-3.fc9 I'm pretty ambivalent about this warning, but before doing anything about it I'd like to hear why do you think the warning is invalid and why is it desirable to ship those jars uncompressed. Java startup speed (any numbers available)? Do you think all jars should be shipped uncompressed, or shouldn't we care at all whether they're compressed or not? What about other zip files? (By "all jars" I meant all jars in any package, not only in *icedtea.) Yes, these jars are shipped uncompressed to minimize load time. I timed "Hello, World" running 1000 times on my unloaded x86 machine: #!/bin/sh for i in `seq 1 1000` do /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.6.0-openjdk-1.6.0.0/jre/bin/java Hello >& /dev/null done Compressed rt.jar: real 3m28.033s user 2m20.669s sys 0m36.194s Uncompressed rt.jar: real 3m1.971s user 1m51.603s sys 0m36.362s jar files generally contain code. Whereas applet jar files should be compressed to minimize download time, jar files shipped in rpms should be optimized to minimize load time [1]. For these reasons I don't think the uncompressed warning should apply to jars. Given that zip files are compressed by default it's unlikely that a zip file will be shipped uncompressed accidentally, so perhaps the warning shouldn't apply to zip files either. 1. http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/j-jar/ Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Adding patrickm to the cc list as the manager of the disabled user fitzsim who reported this bug This message is a reminder that Fedora 9 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 9. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '9'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 9's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 9 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 9 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-07-10. Fedora 9 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life.
