Hi

today I've made a new revbump of xerces-2.6.2 which changes SLOT to 2.6.
Following the same scenario that led to slotting of xerces-2.3. That
means if (and only if) your package builds/runs fine with xerces 2.6.x
but breaks with any higher version, you should depend on =xerces-2.6*
and call java-pkg_jar-from xerces-2.6 (similarly with other eclass
functions). SLOT 2 xerces now contains versions >=2.7.* and should be
used with packages that don't break on the internal changes there (which
is the most luckily :) in that case you should depend on >=xerces-2.7
(to pull the right slot) and use 'xerces-2' with eclass functions as
usual. This will get much easier when slot-based dependencies are
available for general use (in stable portage with EAPI bump).
All relevant dependencies in portage tree and our overlays were updated
accordingly, with the exception of jboss stuff in migrated-overlay which
should be taken care of by our minions (as it was one of their package
that actually led to this slotmove :)
If we find something that breaks with 2.8 but works with 2.7, this will
be repeated for 2.7 slotmove (I hope not so soon :)
