Thanks for your reply. |

Here are things i explored: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
1. simply renaming did not work |
| 36 |
(it should not since the md5 hashes would not match) |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
2. making a separate copy with ebuild did not work out as 'emerge' |
| 39 |
kept complaining about the missing digest. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
3. next i attempted creating a separate file in |
| 42 |
/usr/portage/metadata/md5-cache/dev-java for |
| 43 |
oracle-jdk-bin-1.8.0.20 file |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
with 'repoman manifest' it did not work |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
however emerge started complaining about missing jdk's for i586, |
| 48 |
solaris etc. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
Meanwhile i took a close look at the /usr/portage/eclass directory |
| 51 |
and also tried to locate where 'inherit' is defined. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
'inherit' is a function defined in /usr/lib/portage/bin/ebuild.sh |
| 54 |
file with its bucket full of 'bash'isms. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
Oh well ! |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
As a simple solution i did the following: |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
. create directory /home/saifi/jdk180u20 |
| 61 |
. extract the jdk and place the jce file |
| 62 |
. create a script file to setup the |
| 63 |
PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH and CLASSPATH |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
This works absolutely fine since i can work with multiple versions |
| 66 |
of JDK including JDK9 (dev) without worrying about 'pythonic |
| 67 |
scriptilicious' emerge, ebuild, equery, eix, euse, epkg, eclean ..! |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
Thanks to everybody who helped me out. |
