<span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">Hello group!</span><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><br style="font-family: courier new,monospace;"><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">During several last months I was testing axxo-overlay in hope to see what is
<br>interesting in there. But the gentooexperimental outage stopped me for a while.<br>Now I've found out that the new, migration-overlay is recommended:<br><br><a href="https://projects.gentooexperimental.org/expj/wiki/">
https://projects.gentooexperimental.org/expj/wiki/</a><br><a href="https://projects.gentooexperimental.org/expj/wiki/Using_migration-overlay">https://projects.gentooexperimental.org/expj/wiki/Using_migration-overlay</a><br>
<br>Anyway, I was trying for two straight days to switch to this overlay,<br>but without success. And today I've found the solution!<br>I thought that this may be beneficial to some users/testers, so below<br>I described roughly the steps that helped me overcome the dreadful warning
<br>while emerging sun-jdk:<br><br>/usr/local/overlays/migration-overlay/dev-java/sun-jdk/sun-jdk-1.4.2.10-r11.ebuild:\<br>&nbsp;line 164: java_pkg_postinst: command not found<br><br></span><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
and continuous recommendation to rebuild that package ad infinitum.<br>H</span><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">ere's what I did finally.<br><br><br>### Update the migration-overlay using SVN (</span><span style="font-family: courier new,monospace;">
