Description Aaron Maynard 2003-05-08 08:58:19 UTC

emerge of kde fails at sun java package due to a broken link. Sun has changed 
their layout again, and the link is no longer valid. Please incorporate the 
docs pkg into the ebuild itself due to few if any changes to the one in the 
portage tree

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge kde
2.
3.



Expected Results:  
emergence of kde

Well just checked the URL from java-sdk-docs-1.4.1.ebuild http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html the seems to be valid.

What I don't understand how KDE is dependent on sun-jdk-docs? Gentoo defaults to blackdown JRE for java.

More detail will help - like your emerge -ep kde

The reason that it blocks is that the java sdk docs cannot be mirrored due to their license. The only way to get them is through a click-wrap license screen.
The reason that merging kde is blocking on this build is because all jdk's (also blackdown which is the default jdk) will depend on the sdk docs if the doc use flag is set. Kde depends on the docs. I guess the java team will need to decide on a solution for the problem.

Comment 3 Aaron Maynard 2003-05-10 14:22:35 UTC

Problem solved. Have use flag "doc" set.
