The packages I want to install aren't missing from fedora because of a 
lack of packagers and I don't particularly want them in a 
fedora-maintained and policy-restricted repository.  For the 
java-1.5.0-sun-compat package that makes a good example, there was a 
time when I'd find the instructions to set up yum for a current fedora 
here http://www.jpackage.org/yum.php.  A working file probably still 
exists somewhere.
