Subject: [gentoo-java] Ant 1.7.1_beta2 hits java-experimental overlay

1 Hi,
2
3 looks like after about year and half after 1.7.0 we will see a 1.7.1
4 release of Ant :) Beta2 was released recently, check out release notes:
5 http://people.apache.org/dist/ant/v1.7.1beta2/
6
7 I'm gonna commit it now to java-experimental overlay, and took this
8 version bump as a chance to implement some changes:
9 - completely phasing out ant-tasks package which is now possible because
10 nothing depends on it anymore. The USE flags that trigger the deps on
11 individual tasks will move to dev-java/ant package
12 - the compatibility symlinks to /usr/share/ant/lib/ that were created
13 for all tasks in ant-tasks are split will move to the individual tasks
14 instead of dev-java/ant, so they will be created immediately when the
15 tasks get installed and not on depend on the USE flags in dev-java/ant
16 - this means there will be a blocker to ant-tasks (unversioned),
17 hopefully this time it's really the last blocker during the upgrade :)
18 - ant-core installs the style sheets in etc/ as the binary upstream
19 distribution does (Betelgeuse once said something expected them but
20 probably never filled a bug)
21 - EAPI=1 slot deps are used for external package dependencies. Some deps
22 were converted to RDEPEND only to be more accurate.
23 - ant-trax no longer depends on ant-junit because upstream moved some
24 classes around. This could probably break some packages if they depended
25 and used in ANT_TASKS only ant-trax but need also junit.
26
27 Did some basic testing using remerge-everything-java script from the
28 overlays svn, catched some errors of mine, no upstream breakages yet.
29 Testing and bug reports of course welcome.
