So I went to the site, got my ibm id thingy, then went to download the file. The files are downloaded, however it looks like they're renamed. The site has: IBMJava2-SDK-142.ppc.tgz but the ebuild wants IBMJava2-SDK-142.ppc-SR4.tgz which, I rename locally and it complains about invalid size errors.
I think SR4-1 is current, not SR4. IBM doesn't rename it's JDK downloads to represent minor version bumps. See: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=122220 You can either regenerate the digest or get the older version from the website (I'd recommend the former). Probably needs a bump in portage?
The files have been moved. Due to the package freeze, I can not currently bump the VM. Please download the proper distfiles.
How about a bump now that the freeze is over?
The package freeze certainly is not over. However, we are taking care of severe bugs that come along, that necessitate a bump... which I would put this bug in the category.
Sorry, I misunderstood package freeze to mean not unecessarily bumping versions while 2006.0 was about to be released. I guess it actually refers to the java stabilization effort. Ok then, should this be fixed in the same manner as bug #122220, by directing to the old packages area?
Created attachment 84405 [details, diff] patch to make ebuild direct user to old downloads area
Sorry, I had sworn I committed this already, but apparently not. Will try to get it committed later tonight.
I'll commit it now if you're ok with it
Sure, go for it. One catch though.... the SR4 release for AMD64 is still on the original page. It's annoying...
Comment on attachment 84405 [details, diff] patch to make ebuild direct user to old downloads area can't use same message for all arches since amd64 is still on latest releases page
Created attachment 84413 [details, diff] patch to make ebuild direct non-amd64 users to old downloads area
ok update commited
oops forgot to close
