[gentoo-dev] why the distribute proprietary software in our stage3 builds?

[Matthew Kennedy]

I noticed that we are distributing proprietary software in our stage3
(namely, the blackdown jdk).  I can't think of a reason to do this,
and it seems to contradict our "social contract" if its a dependency
of the software we're distributing.

I believe catalyst fixes this. Daniel will have more information.

Its inclusion was unintentional. The new db-4 had an optional java? USE
which was causing blackdown to get pulled in to the stage3 (since the
java USE is enabled in GRP building.) Catalyst fixes this (makes sure
only a base set of USE vars are enabled when stage3 is built,) resulting
in a stage3 that is a lot smaller and no blackdown.

Daniel

And let me assure that there is not much use for db/java support in stage3 
except for a few people who want to access the db libraries from java. They 
can just as well remerge db the way they want it.
