Netx RPM

I’ve packaged Netx for FC5: x86
RPM
, SRPM.
Thanks to Anthony this version will install itself as the handler for
JNLP files. WARNING: I’ve disabled the security code in this version,
so use at your own risk.

Install it and you will have a new javaws command.
Now you can try a couple fun things. First, listen to the radio:

javaws -headless -jnlp http://irate.sourceforge.net/webstart/stable/irate-client-swt.jnlp

(This one must be run headless due to an unusual
bug
… either be patient while it downloads, or run it normally
and then kill it after the download and then re-run with
-headless.)

Then you can run a fun game:

javaws -jnlp http://rockz.co.uk/preview/plugin/rockz.jnlp

I’ve been playing this lately but I’m really bad at it.

Unfortunately netx doesn’t play too well with gcj 4.0.x, so this
package won’t really work on your FC4 box.

Duh, I just realized that I should just give out real JNLP links:
here’s iRate
Radio
and Rockz. I
still haven’t tried this part, let me know if it works 🙂
