I think its probably worth mentioning that there are likely problems |
| 12 |
Gentoo faces around Java that are of a legal manner, not merely |
| 13 |
technical. |

Like for instance, the fact you can't install the official Orcale/Sun |
| 16 |
JDK/JRE automatically is due to the fact: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
- They prohibit replication/mirroring |
| 19 |
- Their website requires a license agreement acceptance to download |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
And the latter of these is /plausible/ to automate via curl and some |
| 22 |
"Set cookies" magic ( apparently arch do this ), but falls into a legal |
| 23 |
grey area. |

If this is a problem we have simply downloading and installing, I'd |
| 27 |
imagine there are other problems we face having it on ready-to-go media. |
