This just popped up on my RSS reader. The main gist is there is now a |
| 21 |
icedtea6-bin package in java-overlay. I haven't tested it yet but i |
| 22 |
now have icedtea6-bin installed. I plan to mess around with it later |
| 23 |
when I get home and see what I can break. |

I've played with icedtea in the past and managed to get it to work |
| 26 |
after a long time fiddling with it. Hopefully a binary file will be an |
| 27 |
easier solution then rebuilding gcc and such things. |
