Created attachment 764816 [details] modified openjdk-11.0.14_p9-r1.ebuild The latest dev-java/openjdk:11 lost the gentoo-vm USE flag an is always installed as gentoo-vm, while for all previous ebuilds the flag was masked (at least for stable arches). Since the newer ebuild depends on a gentoo-vm, there is no direct upgrade path from <dev-java/openjdk-11.0.14_p9-r1 to dev-java/openjdk-11.0.14_p9-r1. Instead we're forced to install the newest dev-java/openjdk-bin:11 just to bootstrap the newer version of dev-java/openjdk:11. This is totally unneccessary, the non-gentoo-vm versions are good enough. I can understand that you wanted to simplify the ebuild and remove the non-gentoo-vm handling, it's not very nice to the users. So you're forcing them to download useless 190MB of distfiles, waste 250MB in /opt, and have to remember to manually depclean the cruft after the update, just so you can remove a dozen of lines from the ebuild. While I agree that the ebuild should *eventually* be clean up, I really think you should provide a smooth upgrade path for at least 3 months (better 6, some users are slow with updates). I added the required logic back to the ebuild and adjusted the dependencies such that it bootraps with any :11 vm. Tested, and (as expected) it works for me. I'm attaching the modified ebuild for the devs or interested users.

gentoo-vm is now unmasked for previous version, so it can be used now too on stable systems if it's rebuilt. thanks for the patch, I may merge it soon after checking the bootstrap logic, there were some bugs and I removed that branch to simplify code and maintenance.
