Following bug #140495 and http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/dev-java/sun-jdk/sun-jdk-1.3.1.17.ebuild?hideattic=0&rev=1.7&view=log the 1.3.* ebuilds have been removed due to security issues as reported in: http://www.gentoo.org/security/en/glsa/glsa-200601-10.xml http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2005-3906 Sun provided upgrades for the 1.3 branch: http://sunsolve.sun.com/search/document.do?assetkey=1-26-102003-1 Even though sun will end the 1.3 support (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download.html), removing the ebuilds as requested in bug #140495 doesn't solve the problem - actually I'm still with the buggy version b/c of that! Java 1.3 is still required for some older projects, since the later SDKs are not 100% backward compatible. Cheers Kevin
Nothing in the tree needs java 1.3; we are not restoring redundant stuff, sorry.
Java 1.3 is not redundant for some Java developers! Another one... http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-510615.html
So fix your code; sorry but we are not going to spend time on obsolete stuff that has never been compatible with the way how's Java managed in Gentoo.
I guess the guy in the forum got the wrong file: bug #138694 That ebuild worked for me with the new Java management.
Copying sun-jdk-1.3.1.17-r10.ebuild to sun-jdk-1.3.1.19.ebuild is nearly enough. At a first glance, just one line needs to be updated (taken from a 1.4 ebuild): sun-jdk # diff sun-jdk-1.3.1.17-r10.ebuild sun-jdk-1.3.1.19.ebuild 57c57 < testExp=`echo -e "\177\105\114\106\001\001\001"` --- > testExp=$'\177\105\114\106\001\001\001' Just a single error message (seems to be an update of the java management environment): /usr/local/portage/dev-java/sun-jdk/sun-jdk-1.3.1.19.ebuild: line 114: java_pkg_postinst: command not found # java-check-environment ... * Java environment is sane. Congratulations! I re-open this as an enhancement, since it looks like 1.3 support is almost for free and was removed more or less by mistake (deleting ebuilds violating glsas is not a real reason...).
Already explained that we are not restoring stuff buried months ago that's not needed for anything in the tree. Stick it into your overlay if you really need it for some horribly obsolete code. Thanks.
