Subject: [gentoo-java] sun-jdk on AMD64

1 Hello all,
2
3 I have a shiny new AMD64 box, and wanted to emerge sun-jdk-1.4.2.10-r2, but
4 received the following message:
5
6 Calculating dependencies
7 !!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10-r2" have been
8 masked.
9 !!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
10 - dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10-r2 (masked by: missing keyword)
11
12 Now according to the Gentoo Handbook, this means that the sun-jdk has not been
13 tested (sufficiently) on the amd64 architecture.
14
15 Can I unmask this package, install it, and then report any bugs I find using
16 it on this architecture, or is there any overwhelming reason why this won't
17 work?
18
19 Thanks for your advice,
20
