Description Andrew Cowie 2007-07-22 21:43:03 UTC
The ebuilds for 

dev-java/java-sdk-docs
dev-java/sun-jdk
dev-java/jrockit-jdk-bin
dev-java/ibm-jdk-bin

All have version numbers in their DESCRIPTION fields. This seems incorrect, especially as the packages in question have slots for 1.4, 1.5, 1.6 etc.

Well usually more than seeming incorrect is needed for changing things but I can give one:
     Description:         Documentation (including API Javadocs) for Java SDK version 1.6.0

Usually tools like this can only show one so we should not be using versions in DESCRIPTION. Should probably bring this up on gentoo-dev.

Hopefully fixed everywhere
