econf dies during emerge because it cannot find the activation jar file. <<error snippet>> checking for /usr/share/activation/lib/activation.jar... configure: error: can't find activation.jar in specified path !!! ERROR: dev-java/gnu-javamail-20040331 failed. !!! Function econf, Line 365, Exitcode 1 !!! econf failed <<end snippet>> emerge -s activation shows only two packages that match gnu-activation and bonobo-activation. I provided a patch that uses gnu-activation in order to get it to install. Since there are no other java activation packages I didn't think it would hurt.
Created attachment 30846 [details, diff] Specify the gnu-activation path
Thanks, fixed in portage.
