The ebuild for java 1.6 on PPC (IBM's) should be updated for SR3 and maybe specify this as the direct link to download: http://www6.software.ibm.com/sdfdl/1v2/regs2/linuxjavasdks/java/java6/SR3/linuxppc32/Xa.2/Xb.N3K5zJziAxSiY9tNKQmk6V7Oqa3E9SQhKqOtxvw/Xc.SR3/linuxppc32/ibm-java-sdk-6.0-3.0-linux-ppc.tgz/Xd./Xf.LPr.D1vk/Xg.4725134/Xi.swg-sdk6/XY.regsrvs/XZ.iTTCp7dw2uT0heZUcNI1FSXZvXs/ibm-java-sdk-6.0-3.0-linux-ppc.tgz Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Try to emerge java on ppc gentoo.

Also it would violate the need to register and accept licence on IBM's web which we should not risk encouraging. The links we provide now, that take you to the page of a specific version and arch, are the best we can do, imho. > Reproducible: Always > > Steps to Reproduce: > Try to emerge java on ppc gentoo. > Actual Results: > Suggestion to download SR2, which looks unavailable, and the wrong direct link > to download The link we provide still allows downloading SR2, no?
Please stabilize dev-java/ibm-jdk-bin-1.6.0.3. 1.6.0.2 is not available on the download page (although I believe our links still work, but can't check right now). Also there might be security fixes as usually (although IBM does not seem to provide changelog for 1.6 slot and no advisories yet) and newest version is the safest bet.
ppc stable
> The link we provide still allows downloading SR2, no? As far as I recall, no. > ppc stable Does this mean 1.6.0.3 is stable now? I don't have near me the gentoo machine I was building.
This is now a security issue - see bug 252416. Note that even 1.6.0.3 has some vulnerabilities (a fixed 1.6.0.4 was not yet released) but some of them are fixed in 1.6.0.3 so still worth stabling.
ppc64 done
seems ppc was done too, closing
