And for this reason shouldn't the gentoo developers put Sun's java2 |
| 60 |
sdk/jdk 1.4.1 in the portage system? It's only a bug fix/improvements |
| 61 |
release, not a "new features" release, so it should solve many bugs and |
| 62 |
improve quality of the related java packages. |
| 63 |
And for me, I don't understand why are we fixing bugs in a release |
| 64 |
that is outdated, when making a portage ebuild for the new version could |
| 65 |
have the above mentioned benefits and also provide the users with the |
| 66 |
latest version, (which is one of the branded features of gentoo, "fully |
| 67 |
fledged state of the art software :-p" ) |
