Description matthew.cline 2005-09-14 19:00:55 UTC
The java-gnome-2.8.3.ebuild contains this snippet to create a symlink to
libgtk-java:

 mkdir -p ${D}/usr/share/java-gnome/lib
        cd ${D}/usr/share/java-gnome/lib

        gtk_jar=`java-config -p libgtk-java-2.4`
        ln -s $gtk_jar `basename $gtk_jar`

Unfortunately, this fails on my system, because the java-gnome meta-ebuild
installs libgtk-java-2.6, not 2.4.

2.6 is the latest stable version, so shouldn't the ebuild try to create a
symlink to this location instead:

gtk_jar=`java-config -p libgtk-java-2.6`

Otherwise, perhaps the ebuild should detect which version of libgtk-java is
installed by java-gnome?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge java-gnome
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
No symlink created, can make it difficult to find location of jar file.

Expected Results:  
Create symlink along with the other three created by the package.

These symlinks have been dropped in the new version.  This version is soon going
to be dropped.  Please test the new ebuilds in p.mask (waiting up on ppc).
