Re: [gentoo-java] migration-overlay entering main tree

["Wiktor Wandachowicz" <siryes@gmail.com>]

Well, I unmasked the packages and tried to do the dumbest thing
under the Sun (pun intended): upgrade the system WITHOUT reading
the migration guide ;). I believe this is something that quite a bit of
[careless] users would do. I expected problems, but in the end I've
found none (!)

And I really like the new java-config working in the "old" fashion too :)
It hides the java-config-1 / java-config-2 complexity from the less
knowledgeable users.

Great job, guys!


Here's the overview of steps taken:


# emerge -pvuD sun-jdk

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Would you like to merge these packages? [Yes/No]

... all went well ...

# java -version
java version "1.5.0_07"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_07-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.5.0_07-b03, mixed mode)

# javac -version
javac 1.5.0_07
javac: no source files
Usage: javac <options> <source files>

# which java
/usr/bin/java

# which javac
/usr/bin/javac

# java-config -L
*) Sun JDK 1.5.0.07 [sun-jdk-1.5] (/usr/share/java-config-2/vm/sun-jdk-1.5)


So, the dumbest case seems to be covered. I hope this helps :)

Now I'm looking into setting a sun-jdk-1.4.2 on amd64 as the system
and/or build VM. I *know* it's not meant to be used as a Java plugin for
64-bit firefox, but it could be used for 32-bit firefox-bin. And with multilib
profile in place and emul-* libraries it should work without problems.
I will send an update on this case soon.

Cheers,
Wiktor
