[gentoo-dev] virtual/jdk-1.4.1

[Jochen Maes]

Hi all, 


Yesterday dholm and me were told not to unstable mask some of our java packages
for ppc. The reason is because the ibm-jdk isn't able to be in the virtuals file
together with the blackdown jdk (something breaking with repoman), although in
my virtuals file the virtual/x11 does have 2 apps... 

I'm not trying to create a flamewar, but i do like some clear answer, dholm has
been bugging for this problem before i stepped in, and never got a straight
answer. Neither did we get one yesterday.

The point is  that if ibm-jdk isn't also in virtuals most of the new packages in
dev-java (who all rely on 1.4.x) won't be masked on ppc. 
Blackdown-jdk stops at 1.3.x for ppc, and seems like there won't be a change in
that soon. 

Greetings
