released on Nov 30th http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
I'm an ebuild newbie, so be gentle... I copied the current 1.5.0_05 ebuild into my portage overlay as 1.5.0._06, and tried to create a digets, it complains that the Sun .bin file doesn;t exist -- yet the file is most certainly in the proper directory, as per below: Symrall sun-jdk # ebuild sun-jdk-1.5.0.06.ebuild digest !!! jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin not found in /usr/portage/distfiles !!! jce_policy-1_5_0.zip not found in /usr/portage/distfiles !!! dev-java/sun-jdk-1.5.0.06 has fetch restriction turned on. !!! This probably means that this ebuild's files must be downloaded !!! manually. See the comments in the ebuild for more information. * Please download jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-amd64.bin from: * http://javashoplm.sun.com/ECom/docs/Welcome.jsp?StoreId=22&PartDetailId=jdk-1.5.0_06-oth-JPR&SiteId=JSC&TransactionId=noreg * Select the Linux AMD64 self-extracting file * and move it to /usr/portage/distfiles Symrall sun-jdk # ls /usr/portage/distfiles/jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-amd64.bin /usr/portage/distfiles/jdk-1_5_0_06-linux-amd64.bin Whta the heck did I do wrong?
Duh... never mind comment #1
Version bumped. Thanks for reporting.
sun-jdk-1.4.2.10 has inacceptable applet viewer and browser plugin (fonts way too large). sun-jdk-1.5 shows applets fine. I vote for unmasking it.

I vote for unmasking it. > Use sun-jre-bin-1.5 then. It is going to be marked stable as soon as it has been in the three for a month and I have done enough testing.
