Description Wiktor Wandachowicz 2005-12-26 12:58:22 UTC
Hello,

I've spotted the nichoj's post on gmane, in which he mentioned about
updating "project page to include some more information about the Java
1.5 Overlay" (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.gentoo.java/655).

However, the important code example probably has a bug:
-----
Code Listing 3.1: Check out the 1.5 overlay

# mkdir -p /usr/local/overlays/java-experimental
# svn co https://svn.gentooexperimental.org/svn/java/axxo-overlay /usr/local/overlays/axxo-overlay
-----

I think that the first line should be:
-----
# mkdir -p /usr/local/overlays/axxo-overlay
-----
since all later instructions refer to it.

To be honest, I stumped upon this problem when I wanted to check what
interesting things can be found in the Java 1.5 overlay. IIRC, I used
java-experimental first - almost for a week - even though I thought
I was using axxo-overlay. Reversing the changes done to my system took
me a while (about one day), so now I'm ultra-care about this.

HTH

Not a docs-team issue. /proj/en/* documents are maintained by the respective projects. Reassigning to Java Team.

Fixed in CVS. Might take a bit to propagate to the main page.

Thanks for reporting, and sorry for the inconvienence.
