Hey, |
2 |
|
3 |
I've been working on an overlay, where I'm trying to get things fixed so that |
4 |
1.5 can be unmasked (finally?!) I would like some feedback/comments on _any_ |
5 |
part of it. |
6 |
I want to make sure what I'm doing is good, and hasn't got any big holes, or |
7 |
anything like that so that it might one day be merged into the main tree. |
8 |
|
9 |
So if there is anything about it you don't like, yell now and I'll see if I can |
10 |
change it. Or anything else you can think of it needs, or it needs to do |
11 |
different ..... |
12 |
|
13 |
Most important changes are: |
14 |
- merge time vm switching(#86900) |
15 |
- merge time build.xml rewriting (#86903) |
16 |
- my branch of the java-config-ng started by compnerd |
17 |
- Uses symlinks instead of PATH hacks to choose between user/system vm, |
18 |
which is more flexible. |
19 |
- Removal of jikes useflag, you can now easily choose betwean |
20 |
javac/eclipse-ecj/jikes (when the ebuild supports it) |
21 |
- And a variation of other small things |
22 |
|
23 |
You can find a list of bugs it fixes here: |
24 |
http://gentooexperimental.org/svn/java/axxo-overlay/README/bugs-this-fixed |
25 |
|
26 |
I also updated the user doc |
27 |
http://gentooexperimental.org/svn/java/axxo-overlay/README/docs/java-user.html |
28 |
And made a devel doc/packaging guide/policy |
29 |
http://gentooexperimental.org/svn/java/axxo-overlay/README/docs/java-devel.html |
30 |
(disclaimer I absolutely hate writing docs, I stole most of it) |
31 |
|
32 |
I also have a todo file, if you wish to help: |
33 |
http://gentooexperimental.org/svn/java/axxo-overlay/README/todo |
34 |
|
35 |
I recommend testing this in a chroot. Although everything should work, and it |
36 |
shouldn't nuke your system. |
37 |
You can find it in svn on gentooexperimental.org |
38 |
http://gentooexperimental.org/svn/java/axxo-overlay/ |
39 |
Just checkout it somewhere and stick it in PORTDIR_OVERLAY in /etc/make.conf. |
40 |
Java packages from the main tree not in my overlay with updates for it will no |
41 |
longer work. So watch out for that, I usually try to keep it updated but it can |
42 |
lag behind the main tree. |
43 |
If you allready have jre/jdk's installed you should |
44 |
also remerged them, they should have rev bumps in the overlay, so running |
45 |
emerge -uD world, should do the trick |
46 |
|
47 |
Thanks |
