Description Zdeněk Žamberský 2015-12-10 00:00:33 UTC

Ebuilds virtual/jre-1.8.0 and virtual/jdk-1.8.0 should has ~arm KEYWORD, since there is oracle-jdk-bin/oracle-jdk-bin-1.8.0.65 for ~arm (and It works for me). 

This prevents unmerging of old oracle-jdk-bin-1.7 since it is pulled in by java packages through virtual/jre-1.7.0 .

Reproducible: Always

Good point, fixed. When we did this for amd64 and x86, lots of people complained because they were prompted to install Oracle's when they only wanted icedtea. icedtea-3 still isn't in the tree yet but it's different this time because Oracle's Java 7 isn't supported any more. I would have removed by now if it wouldn't prompt even more complaints. icedtea-3 isn't far away now.
