| 1 | To facilitate the maintenance of the java-gnome packages (ie |
| 2 | libgtk-java, libgnome-java, and company), I've created a new eclass. |
| 3 | There are currently seven packages which would be able to use this, and |
| 4 | the number is expected to increase as the java-gnome project adds more |
| 5 | bindings. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | The initial motivation for this came when I was cleaning up and |
| 8 | migrating these packages to the new Java eclasses. As I was going along, |
| 9 | I kept changing my mind about how to best package them... and each time |
| 10 | I did, I would have to update 7 ebuilds. It got silly after awhile, so I |
| 11 | sat down to make an eclass in order to make it trivial to maintain the |
| 12 | actual packages with all the heavy lifting in the eclass. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | The eclass can be seen at: |
| 15 | https://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/java/migrated-java-experimental-overlay/eclass/java-gnome.eclass |
| 16 | |
| 17 | A package using it: |
| 18 | https://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/java/migrated-java-experimental-overlay/dev-java/libgtk-java/libgtk-java-2.8.7.ebuild |
| 19 | |
| 20 | I would like to add this to the tree this weekend, and consequently bump |
| 21 | java-gnome up to 2.14.3 which was released recently. |
