Bug 118651 – java.eclass needs to RDEPEND on java-config

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description ChrisA 2006-01-11 05:14:46 UTC]

When using binpkg's, java-config is only installed on the buildhost -- not the hosts installing sun-jdk as a binary package. 

It's the java.eclass file, that uses java-config in 'java_pkg_postinst'. 

To reproduce:
1) Build sun-jdk on a buildhost (emerge -bav sun-jdk)

2) Copy the package to a second host (scp /usr/portage/packages/All/sun-jdk-* second-host:/usr/portage/packages/All)

3) On the second-host, run emerge -avgK sun-jdk. After this, sun-jdk _should_ be the default JVM .. but without java-config, this is not possible.

Regards,
ChrisA

This should actually go into java.eclass, which all the JDK and JRE ebuilds inherit.

I've made the change to java.eclass, and now just need to update all the JREs and JDKs to not DEPEND on java-config themselves.

All JREs and JDKs should be taken care of now. Thanks for reporting.
