A new stable (0.9.7, 0.9.9 is ahead) release of castor can be found on the net. I'm not sure if exolab server is down, or if the project moved to a new domain, but all seems to sit at least on http://www.castor.org Please consider creating an updated ebuild for dev-java/castor-0.9.7 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge --sync 2. ls -al /usr/portage/dev-java/castor/*.ebuild Actual Results: Only castor-0.9.5.3-r1 can be found in the portage. Expected Results: To have an upgraded castor-0.9.7 ebuild in the portage tree. As of castor-0.9.5.3-r1, it requires =xerces-1.3*. I'm trying to emerge axis (so castor, and xerces should auto-merge too), and I'm using sun-jdk-1.5.0.04, for my development reasons. But this combination is not good for xerces-1.3, as it couldn't compile. Is it possible for castor to use/depend on >=xerces-2.6.2? This works correctly on jdk 1.5. Thanks!
The bugs should be assigned to the people taking care of them instead of adding them to the cc.
Please, do not use sun-jdk-1.5* as the system vm as it will cause you problems. Use java-config -s to set the user vm to 1.5. We will hopefully soon move the solution to the Tiger problem to the main tree.
http://gentooexperimental.org/svn/java/gentoo-java-experimental/dev-java/castor Our experimental tree already seems to has this. I will be testing this later to get it moved to the official tree.
Version bump committed to official with sparc keyword dropped until the arch team can test it. Thanks for reporting.
