On a stable system trying to update, the message for the fetch restriction of java is $ sudo emerge -pv oracle-jre-bin These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Havbe a look at Oracle Java archive pages at http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase7-521261.html#jre-7u65-oth-JPR.

(In reply to Agostino Sarubbo from comment #2) > Why not do a complete bump with oracle-jre-bin/sdk docs and stabilize? Of course, that would be better. But I still think, that linking to the archive page is better than having a package which is not installable (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519182#c10). I know that every oracle-*-bin update implies a lot of critical security updates :/
Starting with 1.7.0.71 / 1.8.0.25 we also link to the archive download page.
