hello list.

any ideas how to install a recent version of jabref? the latest ebuild is
for 2.6 (current stable is 2.9, even ubuntu has a newer version...), and
that doesn't even compile because it needs a recent version of pdfbox (the
one in portage seems to be old, and for some reason i couldn't even
compile it).

is there an overlay with the necessary ebuilds to build jabref?

suggestions for other similar applications are also welcome...


best,


lj

Not sure about the dependencies but the science overlay has 2.9.2 (+ an
-r1) and a 2.10 beta... I assume the science overlay can fullfill the
dependencies as well (but haven't tried emerging it).

May want to check this bug report.

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=385751

From that, the hold up seems to be the license.

i just downloaded the ebuild for jabref-2.9.2-r1 from the science
overlay and it compiled and installed just fine without any problems,
thank you.
