Description Jan Brinkmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-12-03 07:17:03 UTC
javamail 1.3.2 ist available and should be in the portage tree. 'dev-java/sun-javamail-bin' has fetch restriction turned on and if you want to download the needed zip file it's hard to do so for version 1.3.1. a version bump should be enough

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
Comment 1 Jan Brinkmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-12-03 07:23:09 UTC
it's enough to change 'At="javamail-${PV//./_}-upd.zip"'  to  'At="javamail-${PV//./_}.zip"'
Comment 2 Thomas Matthijs (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-12-07 07:01:01 UTC
i added a direct link to 1.3.1 so its 'easy' to get ;)
not bumping to 1.3.2 yet since it requires jdk 1.5

Just putting another vote in for this version bump. Works fine here. ~x86
Comment 6 Christopher G. Stach II 2005-05-10 09:35:32 UTC
JDK 1.5.0 is only required for SASL IMAP support.  A simple warning after the emerge should suffice.  The fixes and changes in 1.3.2 are _plenty_ to warrant an upgrade despite this version issue.
Comment 7 Wiktor Wandachowicz 2005-09-09 16:28:46 UTC
Moreover, a new version of javamail has been recently released.
The current version is 1.3.3, and contains over 20 bug fixes and enhancements,
as described on:
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/downloads/index.html

And the jdk-1.5.0 requirement is no longer valid, according to the docs:
http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/README.txt

The JavaMail API supports JDK 1.1.x or higher, including the Java 2
platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) 1.2.x, 1.3.x, 1.4.x, and 1.5.x.
Note that we have currently tested this implementation only with JDK

Please consider creating a new ebuild and putting it in the Portage tree.
Usual steps can be taken, like keywording it ~arch, but the upgraded ebuild
should go into the tree.

Thanks!

Consider checking gnu-javamail. We are heading towards preferring the OSS
implementations over the sun ones. It would be nice to get feedback from people
coding against/using javamail.

Added to CVS.
