g2gui 0.3.0 is out. As far as I know the current version in portage (0.3.0pre1) does not work with blackdown-jdk-1.4.2. Don't know whether 0.3.0 does. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
This java based SWT application is indeed broken. root@mojo markw # g2gui cat: /home/markw/.g2gui/g2gui.pref: No such file or directory Starting MLdonkey G2gui (java)... Invalid or corrupt jarfile lib/g2gui.jar G2gui terminated. It seems the that lib/g2gui.jar is indeed corrupted in some way. To fix this I used the following one liner which extracted the jar file and rebuilt it. cd /usr/share/g2gui/lib; mkdir temp; cd temp; jar xf /usr/share/g2gui/lib/g2gui.jar; mv META-INF/MANIFEST.MF /usr/share/g2gui/lib; jar -cmf ../MANIFEST.MF ../g2gui.jar .; rm -r /usr/share/g2gui/lib/temp /usr/share/g2gui/lib/MANIFEST.MF Once rebuilt it worked fine. VERY WIERD. There is a new version of this application out but it is unfortunately only available for windows at this stage :(
This does fix the problem, suggested that portage is either updated with a new jar, or package hard masked.
