Re: [gentooppc-dev] dev-java/blackdown-jre build broken

[David]

Hmm, I wonder if there's some kind of Gentoo award for the ugliest 
"clean up" of an ebuild..  If so, I think we'd have to nominate Seemant 
for this one ;-)

I'll see if I can fix it.

btw, you can see who's been messing with files by looking at viewcvs on 
the gentoo site.
