Hello group! |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
During several last months I was testing axxo-overlay in hope to see what is |
| 4 |
interesting in there. But the gentooexperimental outage stopped me for a |
| 5 |
while. |
| 6 |
Now I've found out that the new, migration-overlay is recommended: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
https://projects.gentooexperimental.org/expj/wiki/ |
| 9 |
https://projects.gentooexperimental.org/expj/wiki/Using_migration-overlay |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Anyway, I was trying for two straight days to switch to this overlay, |
| 12 |
but without success. And today I've found the solution! |
| 13 |
I thought that this may be beneficial to some users/testers, so below |
| 14 |
I described roughly the steps that helped me overcome the dreadful warning |
| 15 |
while emerging sun-jdk: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
/usr/local/overlays/migration-overlay/dev-java/sun-jdk/sun- |
| 18 |
jdk-1.4.2.10-r11.ebuild:\ |
| 19 |
line 164: java_pkg_postinst: command not found |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
and continuous recommendation to rebuild that package ad infinitum. |
| 22 |
Here's what I did finally. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
### Update the migration-overlay using SVN (it needs to be checked out |
| 26 |
first) |
| 27 |
# svn up /usr/local/overlays/migration-overlay |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
### Make sure that sun-jdk is unmasked: |
| 30 |
# grep sun-jdk /etc/portage/package.keywords |
| 31 |
=dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4* ~x86 |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
### Correct the ebuild: java_pkg_postinst --> java-vm-2_pkg_postinst |
| 34 |
# cd /usr/local/overlays/migration-overlay/dev-java/sun-jdk |
| 35 |
# sed 's/java_pkg_postinst/java-vm-2_pkg_postinst/' |
| 36 |
sun-jdk-1.4.2.10-r11.ebuild > sun-jdk-1.4.2.10-r12.ebuild |
| 37 |
# ebuild sun-jdk-1.4.2.10-r12.ebuild digest |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
### Emerge Generation-1 JDK: |
| 40 |
# emerge -av =sun-jdk-1.4.2.10* |
| 41 |
# env-update && . /etc/profile |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
### Emerge Generation-2 JDK: |
| 44 |
# rm /etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.4.2.10 |
| 45 |
# emerge -av =sun-jdk-1.4.2.10* |
| 46 |
# env-update && . /etc/profile |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
### Add required environment variables: |
| 49 |
# grep PROVIDES files/sun-jdk-1.4 >> /etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.4.2.10 |
| 50 |
# grep BOOTCLASSPATH files/sun-jdk-1.4 >> /etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.4.2.10 |
| 51 |
# echo "GENERATION=2" >> /etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.4.2.10 |
| 52 |
# env-update && . /etc/profile |
| 53 |

### Make sure everything is okay: |
| 74 |
# java -version |
| 75 |

| 76 |

| 77 |

| 78 |
# which java |
| 79 |

| 80 |
# java-config-1 -L |
| 81 |

| 82 |
# java-config-2 -L |
| 83 |
*) Sun JDK 1.4.2.10 [sun-jdk-1.4.2.10] (/etc/env.d/java/20sun-jdk-1.4.2.10) |
| 84 |
|
| 85 |
|
| 86 |
I guess that the small problems (java -> java-vm-2 renaming, missing |
| 87 |
env vars) will be resolved soon. I hope to see more interesting things |
| 88 |
in migration-overlay and finally in official portage tree. :-D |
