		This page represents Fedora guidelines for packaging libraries and applications written in Java and related languages using Java Virtual Machine as bytecode interpreter. It does not aim to extensively describe packaging techniques and tips. RPM macros and commands used here are documented in man pages. Furthermore a separate https://fedora-java.github.io/howto/latest/[Java Packaging HOWTO] describes Java packaging techniques in detail and includes examples, templates and documentation aimed at packagers and Java developers who are taking their first steps in Java RPM packaging.

		`- Fedora Java packaging is originally based on http://www.jpackage.org[JPackage Project] standards. Over time we have diverged in packaging tools in most areas but we mostly keep backward compatibility with older packages that make use of JPackage standards.`

Add link to jpackage.org in the internet archives, because the domain seems to have changed ownership and now hosts unrelated content.

decathorpe commented 3 years ago

If JPackage is "dead", do we actually need to link to anything here?
Not sure if an internet archive link is helpful, except for "packaging history nerds" :smile:

I think the link is useful. I have referenced it many times trying to explain to upstream projects how Fedora does packaging and why, so that they can adopt practices in their code to improve "packagability". I think it serves as a valuable reference and would prefer to have the link.

Good point. Thanks for the PR!
