I probably shouldn't butt in... first, no I don't want you to merge java-overlay and java-experimental, that's a bad idea (well at least for me) second. I generally think anything beyond a personal overlay is crap. All these overlays like sunrise, java-overlay, and on and on... basically official, overlays that have qa and are pretty stable. are crap. they should be in the tree. an overlay for developers is fine, you know. where you are working on stuff... stuff that someone who wouldn't want to hack on it wouldn't want, because it's too broken. but one of the few good things about gentoo, in relation to other distro's, 1 tree no repos, continues to fall further and further apart. --=20 Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.blogspot.com
