Hello,
We are pushing out a security update for java tonight.  We are only
going from java 1.6.0-10 to 1.6.0-12, so there isn't to much of a
problem with incompatibilities.
But there are some people who have several version's of sun's jdk
installed, and when you update one, it uninstalls the rest.

So if you have multiple copies of jdk installed, and you plan on keeping
them, then you should exlude it in your yum cron exludes line, or on
your yum.conf excludes line.

To exclude jdk and java-1.6.0-sun-compat for the nightly automatic
updates.  Edit the file /etc/yum.d/yum.cron.excludes and append to it,
all on one line.  so it looks like

exclude=kernel* openafs* jdk java-1.6.0-sun-compat

To exclude jdk and java-1.6.0-sun-compat for all yum update.  Edit the
file /etc/yum.conf and add the line

exclude=jdk java-1.6.0-sun-compat

Hopes this helps some people.  Most people won't have any problem with
the update, but I just wanted to make sure for the others.

One other note.  We were able to sign the i586 jdk rpm, but not the
x86_64 one.  The x86_64 one still breaks when you sign it.

Thanks
Troy
