[gentoo-user] Unmask Java 1.5.0

[gentoo-user] Unmask Java 1.5.0

[Kristian Bisgaard Lassen]

Hi,

How do I emerge Java 1.5.0 without emerging it from /usr/portage. I have 
tried to put an entry like this

  >=dev-java/sun-sdk-1.5.0 ~x86 (maybe the actual ebuild name is not 
correct)

in my /etc/portage/package.unmask. I also tried to put in my 
/etc/portage/package.keywords.

Any suggestions?

Best regards,
    Kristian Bisgaard Lassen

First of all: There's no such ebuild "sun-sdk". It's called "sun-jdk".

For 1.5.0 you need to have it in both package.keywords _and_ package.unmask:
# echo "=dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5.0 ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
# echo "=dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5.0" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask
# echo "=dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.5.0 ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
# echo "=dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.5.0" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask

That did the trick on my boxed, synced this morning.

It applies only to java-sdk-docs, if you have doc in your USE-flags.

HTH, regards
Felix

Right.


Note that one of the problems was that the "~x86" part is unneccesary in 
package.unmask - so make sure you do not have any faulty entries there.
