[Mageia-dev] sun java issue for mga 1 handling

[Guillaume Rousse]

Despite not realling blocking for mageia 2 release, the issue is still 
to address, the sooner the better.

Here are the previous discussion references:

Various proposal sofar:
1) provide an upgrade package with current content and some README.urpmi 
file telling to fetch it from oracle
2) provide an upgrade package with just the README.urpmi file
3) provide an upgrade package with some kind of automated downloading script

We need both a consensus and someone to implement it, preferentially the 
maintainer of course.

I personally think 3 is way too much work for the added value, and 2 
seem both the easiest and safer option.
