We are aware of that. But won't add it into portage until it's released also under DLJ license at https://jdk-distros.dev.java.net/developer.html - we don't want to go back to fetch restricted ebuilds.

Feel free to post a comment if you spot it released.

[Comment 3 Martin Miller 2006-10-08 19:46:38 UTC]

Did anyone open a bug report for Sun to update the DLJ license ?
They will probably forget; They can't even update their java.com releases after each release...

[Comment 4 Conrad Kostecki 2006-10-11 01:09:44 UTC]

May I ask why we are using in gentoo the DLJ Release?

[Comment 5 Vlastimil Babka (Caster) (RETIRED) 2006-10-11 01:22:43 UTC]

Because portage can download it for you, without fetch restrictions (friendlier license).

Thanks 4 Info!

Oddly enough, the distfile does seem to be available, even if they don't advertise it... Fixed in CVS. Thanks for reporting.
