The xalan ebuild on portage points to xalan-j-2_4_D1 which is a prerelease. im uploading the modified ebuild that works compiles ok on g2 1.4 and is the release on xalan 2.4 Im marking it as critical cause i tried to compile it on clean instaled g2 1.4, and actual ebuild never compiles (6 boxes and always de same errors). Cheers

Created attachment 4054 [details] digest-xalan-2.4 latest one
i actually tried it with PORTAGE_OVERLAY and it compiled perfect and worked, also i tested it with my app and its ok. I recommend the ebuild name must be xalan-2.4-r1.ebuild, so everyone on g2 1.2, 1.4 gets the release version and not the prerelease that has some error (Told by xalan devs).
Also, i want to add, if i want to maintain these packages what i need to do, i enjoy making ebuilds and testing them. So how can i be a gentoo developer. is there a test needed ??

Good catch! I've fixed this one now, named it -r1 as you suggested. As for becoming a developer, start by hanging out on #gentoo-dev on OPN, and bug me for work :) If you appear to have the time and skill, I'll be more than happy to recommend you to the powers that be. My handle is (not surprisingly) karltk.
