Yes. The answer is at least two-fold. # 1) There is currently a package freeze in effect while the Java team finishes the addition/migration of Java 5 into the mainline Portage tree. This is particularly relevant to why Netbeans 5 is not in the tree, as the freeze has been in effect for a few months. I suggest checking the mailing list archives if you want more details. # 2) The Gentoo Java team is understaffed and very busy. This is compounded with all of the migration work to Java 5 in progress. This is probably the main reason you don't see Netbeans 4.5 in the tree, as this condition has persisted for a while. Some of us try to help when we can, but we are also extremely busy with work/life and can only do so much. When the package freeze is no longer in effect, perhaps you could contribute an ebuild for your desired versions of Netbeans to Bugzilla (possibly an update of the existing 4.0 build). This is the best way to speed along the process. ~ FCGreg --=-V/2aII26T7avq6MeSqqk Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBEWUwaaI3pdOrDO40RAjeLAJwLRlocq8V3VBASvIxoWRA8R2UrBwCglFz3 R+VA8deVqJXYAW4wG2fBgIY= =pPP8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-V/2aII26T7avq6MeSqqk-- -- gentoo-java@gentoo.org mailing list
