Portage only contains ebuilds for sun-jdk-1.6.0.33, requiring to download jdk-6u33 from the Oracle website. However this version jdk-6u33 is no longer available on the Oracle website. Solution would be a new ebuild based on sun-jdk-6u34. Please note that many users will need to update their java because of a reported security vulnerability in java plugins for firefox and thunderbird.

Reproducable: Always Steps to reproduce: 1. emerge emerge sun-jdk -v 2. follow the given link to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk6-downloads-1637591.html to download jdk-6u33-linux-x64.bin 3. find only jdk-6u34-linux-x64.bin there. Expected results: find jdk-6u33-linux-x64.bin at the designated site
FWIW, I've also checked Oracle's Java Archive page http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/archive-139210.html but it only goes up to 6u32.
jdk-6u34-linux-x64-demos.tar.gz is 0 bytes upstream still. Also the ia64 stuff has been entirely dropped by upstream, it should be dropped from SRC_URI.
Could it be possible to avoid removing older ebuilds for this very unfriendly package? Only 6u34 and 6u32 are available among the latest versions and no ebuilds for either (or any older versions).

For what it's worth, the x64 version of 6u33 can be downloaded from here: http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/6u33-b04/jdk-6u33-linux-x64.bin
Bumped. Since the current stable is no longer officially available, I guess we stabilize the new one. Not so different from the more common security bumps anyway. So please stabilize dev-java/sun-jdk-1.6.0.34 dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.6.0.34

amd64 stable
I can confirme this works now on amd64 stable, using sun-jdk-6u35. Surprisingly xemacs get pulled in. Here is the dependency tree using the default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop profile, and the following use flags in make.conf: USE="-cups -ldap -ipv6 -qt -qt3 -qt4 -kde -nls -consolekit -policykit nsplugin upower libproxy truetype imlib bluetooth dbus python python3 mmx sse sse2 " hfern-dell ~ # emerge emerge sun-jdk -vpt These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!

One more comment. In the sun-jdk-1.6.0.35.ebuild I see: DEMOS_PV="6u34" DEMOS_S_PV="1.6.0_34" Not sure what it does, but if 6u35 is downloaded, then it is probably wrong.
ia64 is back as are the examples for amd64. *sun-jdk-1.6.0.35-r1 (15 Oct 2012) 15 Oct 2012; Ralph Sennhauser <sera@gentoo.org> +sun-jdk-1.6.0.35-r1.ebuild: Demos now available for 6u35. #431492 #434990 Add back ia64 and examples for amd64. Add BSD to licenses for examples. Use QA_PREBUILT instead of individual variables. Fix desktop files for newer standard. Add elog about the name change to oracle-jdk-bin for JDK7.
