So you're saying that 'free java' refers to java licened under the GPL? |
41 |
If that's what you're stuck up on, I guess I should be saying open |
42 |
source java (which I could have sworn I've been saying from the start) |

ebuild isn't an acronym, so you don't need to capitalize it all ;) |
62 |
|
63 |
But having a way to generate ebuilds from gump descriptor or maven |
64 |
project files would be intersting and all well and good... but someone |
65 |
would actually have to do the work to put it together. That person isn't |
66 |
likely me in the foreseeable future, unless someone has a deal on cloning. |

74 |
|
75 |
'small amount of effort' for whom? Adding a lot of packages doesn't |
76 |
particularly sound like a small effort to me. Another hurdle is that |
77 |
many projects are switching to maven for building, and as I describe in |
78 |
the project ideas, we aren't quiet ready to handle using it to build. |
