Description Eric Renfro 2002-10-28 11:11:58 UTC

PostgreSQL is driving me nuts with it's virtual/jdk dependancy, when it
specifically requires Sun JDK 1.3.1 to compile it's JDBC driver.

People keep complaining that PgSQL won't build, because of Blackdown Java that
it downloaded.  This needs to be fixed to require sun-jdk-1.3.1 specifically.

You could also do: %> USE=-java emerge postgresql  Then download the precompiled jar files from the postgresql jdbc page.  But I'm waiting for the 7.3 ebuild :)
