[gentoo-user] license change in sun-jdk

[Rudmer van Dijk]

Hi,

for all who have problems with their jdk (and don't want to spent half an hour 
finding out why 8-):

after sync, portage wants to install dev-java/icedtea6-bin, although there is 
a jdk installed (I already had dev-java/sun-jdk-1.6.0.17)

well it turns out that sun-jdk-1.6.0.17 has suddenly been license masked...

adding ACCEPT_LICENSE="dlj-1.1" to make.conf lets sun-jdk be accepted again.
no more spontaneous forced installation of icedtea6-bin!

I cheated then.  I did this for mine:

ACCEPT_LICENSE="*"

I think that covers them all.

Yeah, but while I probably have no real problem with accepting all those 
licenses, at least I like to know what I accept. So I prefer to put this 
stuff into package.license, which at this moment looks like this:

games-fps/quake3-bin	Q3AEULA
games-fps/quake3-data	Q3AEULA
dev-java/sun-jdk		dlj-1.1

Alternatively, ACCEPT_LICENSE="Q3AEULA dlj-1.1" in make.conf would also 
work.

When a license change happens, I can see that and decide whether I like it 
or not.

This is strange: I tried to update, and got list of ~10 packages,
plus that above mentioned error. So I included in ACCEPT_LICENSE="*"
in make.conf, and tried it agan. And nothing. Suddenly it portage
does not want to update anything. As if there is nothing to update...

Why is it strange? The behaviour is correct

You accepted the license and world is up to date so portage correctly tells 
you there is nothing to do.

Without the LICENSE statement in make.conf, you have 10 unacceptable packages. 
So portage tells you it will remove them and replace them without something 
else, or maybe just display blockers. In any event portage knows there is 
something to do.
