when i start the fop shellscript in /usr/bin I get the following error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/avalon/framework/logger/Logger at org.apache.fop.apps.Fop.main(Fop.java:60) installed is the following version: dev-java/fop 0.20.5-r1
Please try fop-0.20.5-r3 it seems to fix this issue. Add the following lines to /etc/portage/package.keywords =dev-java/fop-0.20.5-r3 =dev-java/batik-1.5 In general it is always best to first test with the latest version and then file stabilizations requests if the newer version fixes a severe problem like this. I will be looking at marking the later version stable and you can help in it by testing the -r3 revision.
This most likely affects amd64 too.
(In reply to comment #0) the r-3 version starts. thanks for the help, i will report further problems, if there are any left.
Marked -r3 stable on amd64.
I don't know how I missed this but ppc should also keyword -r3 ~ppc. x86 stable now. Getting amd64 back because nichoj made an error in the ebuild by relaxing the dependency but still using the batik from the 1.5 slot.
-r3 is now marked ~ppc.
Re-marked stable on amd64. Sorry for the mix-up. Closing.
nichoj: Your stable marking did not seem to succeed: http://packages.gentoo.org/ebuilds/?fop-0.20.5-r3
Really fixed this time.
