Easy way to test this: betelgeuse@pena /usr/portage/dev-libs/cyrus-sasl $ depend-java-query -v ">=virtual/jre-1.4 >=virtual/jdk-1.4" sun-jre-bin-1.6 betelgeuse@pena /usr/portage/dev-libs/cyrus-sasl $ depend-java-query -v ">=virtual/jdk-1.4" icedtea6-bin betelgeuse@pena /usr/portage/dev-libs/cyrus-sasl $ java-config -L The following VMs are available for generation-2: 1) IcedTea6-bin 1.6.1 [icedtea6-bin] 2) Sun JRE 1.6.0.16 [sun-jre-bin-1.6] trang-20030619-r2 is gone. Closing. putting virtual/jre in DEPEND is wrong packaging. No, the situation as-is is far too brittle and under documented. |
