Subject: [gentoo-java] java.eclass needs to RDEPEND on java-config

Message-Id: 43C6F0C1.2010604@gentoo.org
1 For bug 118651 [1], the user was experiencing problems with binary
2 packages because java-config is in DEPEND, not RDEPEND, which wouldn't
3 be brought in as a dependency for a binary install.

5 The user had suggested putting this in the particular ebuild's RDEPEND.
6 However, this would affect all JDKs and JREs. So instead, I propose
7 putting java-config in DEPEND and RDEPEND of java.eclass, which all JDKs
8 and JREs should be inheriting. The ebuilds would then need to be updated
9 to not DEPEND on java-config.
10
11 Would there be any problem with doing this? If not, is there a minimal
12 version of java-config that should be used? sun-jdk depends on >= 1.2,
13 ibm-jdk-bin depends on >= 0.2.5, and blackdown-jdk depends on >= 1.2.11,
14 so I'm not sure which one should be used.
