Description Luke-Jr 2022-02-13 07:51:24 UTC

Seems like current stable dev-java/openjdk has an unsolvable (without third party binaries) dependency loop? How can I get it without running someone else's binaries on my system?

you can use this overlay.

https://gitlab.com/stikonas/gentoo-bootstrap/-/tree/master/dev-java/openjdk


it should get you all the way up to 17, we recently did it on ppc64big-endian even.

it also provides rust bootstrap for rust with mrustc (non-ppc64 only)


no plans to provide full bootstrap path in ::gentoo though due to different reasons, portage resolver, security bugs and maintenance burden.
