Description Hristo Venev 2013-04-04 15:52:02 UTC 
I don't think eclass/java-utils-2 should add a runtime dependency on portage as not every java package invokes portage itself during runtime.

I found this while trying to set up an embedded system which doesn't need to have portage installed.

Reproducible: Always

java-config depends on Portage at runtime. This dependency is currently implicit, so can't drop Portage in the eclass without adding it to java-config. package.provided may work for you (see portage(5)) but you are on your own.

Long term dropping Portage is desirable as ideally java-config would be portable to other distros and OSs.

Once EAPI 0 & 1 java packages are gone from tree, the build dependency on Portage in the eclass can be dropped as well.

Fixed. The dependency was added to java-config a while back.
