I used to update these over at JPackage. I gave up, on the grounds
that RHEL 6 and its rebuilds rely on OpenJDK, Red Hat has gotten
squarely behind OpenJDK, and Oracle *bought Sun* and is tring to
itself support OpenJDK. So there's very little point to it anymore in
the development or stable environment world.
