Ok, I really just do not get what on earth it thinks I'm doing wrong |
| 2 |
here, trying to install java firstly the ebuild in portage it appears is |
| 3 |
too old, it wants me to fetch a copy of 7u15 from a page that now only |
| 4 |
has 7u17 on it so fail there no problem just update it surely can't be |
| 5 |
that hard err right so created an up to date copy of the ebuild in my |
| 6 |
overlay directory except it wont create the manifest repeatedly tells me |
| 7 |
to put the file jre-7u17-linux-x64.tar.gz in /usr/portage/distfiles, |
| 8 |
great ok so... |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
zeus oracle-jre-bin # cp ~/Downloads/jre-7u17-linux-x64.tar.gz |
| 11 |
/usr/portage/distfiles |
| 12 |
zeus oracle-jre-bin # ebuild *.ebuild manifest |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
!!! dev-java/oracle-jre-bin-1.7.0.17 has fetch restriction turned on. |
| 15 |
!!! This probably means that this ebuild's files must be downloaded |
| 16 |
!!! manually. See the comments in the ebuild for more information. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
* Please download 'jre-7u17-linux-x64.tar.gz' from: |
| 19 |
* |
| 20 |
'http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre7-downloads-1880261.html' |
| 21 |
* and move it to '/usr/portage/distfiles' |
| 22 |
!!! Fetch failed for jre-7u17-linux-i586.tar.gz, can't update Manifest |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Err confused repeat, same, redownload same, try again, at this point |
| 25 |
starting to meet the definition of insanity as the result isn't changing |
| 26 |
finally after the third time finally notice the last line properly, I've |
| 27 |
been there dutifully doing as it told me and failed to realize the real |
| 28 |
issue is that it wants the x86 version of the download as well. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Next it will point you to a wrong URL asking you to download |
| 31 |
UnlimitedJCEPolicyJDK7.zip the following URL is the correct one, ty google. |
| 32 |

After adding that ebuild manifest should work and the ebuild merges fine. |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
I could have just attached the updated one I guess but I havn't for two |
| 38 |
reasons firstly I had already written half this post when I noticed what |
| 39 |
the real problem was and secondly I felt there was likely to be more |
| 40 |
value to others in sharing the experience than there would in simply |
| 41 |
attaching the file, I guess similar potential little gotchas may exist |
| 42 |
with other packages also. |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Real lesson here is probably pretty much read *ALL* the output and don't |
| 45 |
make assumptions, but anyway if it saves someone else some frustration |
| 46 |
this was worth typing out. |
