I doubt Michal has to consider anything in particular for this - RPMs can be built directly from NBMs. I vote for RPMs, too. It's the best distribution possibility for Linux. Just work together with guys at jpackage.org. They couldn't keep up with your pace in changing things, but there SPEC files should be a good start for you. AFAIK rpm ist available for Solaris, too. Multiple RPMs seem to me the best solution, too. Generate a relocatable RPM and everybody can change the installation path /opt/netbeans to what he wants. Even better use the standard solution which installs binaries in /usr/bin and cpuarch-independent stuff like java code, sources, docs, HTML in /usr/share. You don't need the installer if you use RPM. So the installer guys could work on the RPM. They should know where to place which files and so on. Boris (adding you as a CC, otherwise you would never see responses to comments you write): there is already a detailed proposal for creating RPM and SysV-Pkg packages for NB. We just forgot to attach the link to this report. Hmm. This is a P1 feature for 3.6. But my download came again as an installer program. Any news about the RPM? It somehow works for 3.6 on a branch. But I promise to make it work for promo-D. I don't think this should be task for Yarda's. Installation team should do it. Still keeping core-promod keyword to have this issue on my radar mzlamal did the rpm packaging for JDS. Done Can you add it to the official Download Webpage?
