Dspace 1.6.x on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL5)

Hi Dspace community, I'll be adding documentation here that outlines how to get Dspace 1.6.x up and running on a RHEL5 system emphasizing sustainability. (No small accomplishment.) The documentation is complete, but I need to translate from our internal documentation and wiki format to the format supported here. In the mean time feel free to email me any questions regarding this documentation or our build.  --- Jamin Ragle, Systems Administrator, University of New Mexico Libraries

Goals:

This build is targeted for resolving the dependency problems of the past between RHEL and JPackage, remove the 'dspace' user, and to install Dspace 1.6.2. The hardest issues to solve are finding the prerequisite packages for Maven2 and Ant 1.7, resolving the dependencies, AND still use RPMs to maintain the packages. The following is my attempt to use an external repository (JPackage) with RHEL5 and the only unmaintained packages are Dspace itself and possibly the Java JAI.
