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) |
| 43 |

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. |

|
| 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. |
