Description Georg Müller 2004-10-19 07:59:29 UTC 
The most of all java sources is completely independent from the underlying architecture.So it if I want to test something on amd64, I have to add the arch keyword to about 5 packages to test one (struts as an example).
Isn't it possible to mask java packages with an independent keyword (java or so), except these few hardware close packages.


Reproducible: Always

No... Just because it runs in a VM doesn't mean support is there for it in general.
Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-10-20 17:42:22 UTC 
agreed

this also goes against our general QA
