-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hey folks,
Now that the new Java system is in the main portage tree, the Java team has been working to port packages to use it. It is quite a daunting task though, considering how many Java packages are in the tree. I've written some notes about how to migrate packages on our trac: http://overlays.gentoo.org/proj/java/wiki/Migrating_packages nelchael has also been so kind as to write a python script which figures out what packages remain unported. It lives in svn at: http://overlays.gentoo.org/svn/proj/java/scripts/find-unported.py It will be improved to give better output as we have time, so you may want to just checkout the scripts directory, and svn up from time to time. Note: it is kind of long running, since it goes over the whole tree. The most recent results of the script can be found at: http://dev.gentoo.org/~nelchael/java-generation-2/not-migrated-20060717 The progress is at: http://dev.gentoo.org/~nelchael/java-generation-2/progress.txt Right now, we have some 366 packages to migrate... So we are looking for help, since there are only a few active Java members! So, if you are a developer interested in helping with migration, stop by #gentoo-java, and give a shout. If you are not a developer, you can still help! My recommendation would be to take a look at your favorite Java package, and try migrating it. If you are able to successfully migrate them, file a bug with a patch to the ebuild.
