Hi,
According to eix -I sdk only SDK versions from 1.4 upwards are available
for installation. I might need 1.3 SDK variants too for maintenance of
old product versions (it is not THAT simple to get a customer to upgrade
:-), so - are there some ebuilds for 1.3 JDK versions around?
Ciao,
Wolfgang

The -I option restricts eix to currently installed packages. It shows
what is installed, not what is available for installation.

Better to understand a little than to misunderstand a lot.

Sorry, I wrote it wrong. If I do a "eix jdk" on my new gentoo system, I get only
1.4 JDK versions. My old gentoo PC has JDK 1.3 versions installed, so it shows them in
the "installed" part.
Ciao,
Wolfgang

You can pull the ebuilds out of /var/db/pkg/ on your old system and
put them in your local overlay.  You could also pull them from
Gentoo's CVS repository [1].  Just be warned that since they are
unmaintained now, you may have some fixing to do.

Be aware that /var/db/pkg only contains the ebuilds, not any other files
needed from /usr/portage, such as patches, so this only works for a
limited number of packages.

Another idea - would it be a good idea to quickpkg the 1.3 JDKs on my OLD system (where they are installed) and move them over to the new system? But then I would not get updated - but as the ebuilds (and JAVA 1.3 general) are unmaintained anyways, what the hell :-)
Comments?

That should work if the two systems run equivalent CFLAGS and USE. Copy
over the packages and ebuilds and install with emerge -k.
