4 Hi

6 today I've made a new revbump of xerces-2.6.2 which changes SLOT to 2.6.
7 Following the same scenario that led to slotting of xerces-2.3. That
8 means if (and only if) your package builds/runs fine with xerces 2.6.x
9 but breaks with any higher version, you should depend on =xerces-2.6*
10 and call java-pkg_jar-from xerces-2.6 (similarly with other eclass
11 functions). SLOT 2 xerces now contains versions >=2.7.* and should be
12 used with packages that don't break on the internal changes there (which
13 is the most luckily :) in that case you should depend on >=xerces-2.7
14 (to pull the right slot) and use 'xerces-2' with eclass functions as
15 usual. This will get much easier when slot-based dependencies are
16 available for general use (in stable portage with EAPI bump).
17 All relevant dependencies in portage tree and our overlays were updated
18 accordingly, with the exception of jboss stuff in migrated-overlay which
19 should be taken care of by our minions (as it was one of their package
20 that actually led to this slotmove :)
21 If we find something that breaks with 2.8 but works with 2.7, this will
22 be repeated for 2.7 slotmove (I hope not so soon :)
