Description Wiktor Wandachowicz 2005-11-06 07:58:49 UTC

There is a working patch which allows to compile xalan-2.6.0-r2 using Sun JDK
1.5.0. I know that Axxo is working very hard to get all the Java related stuff
done right (and I appreciate his work very much!). But in the meantime why stop
people getting it to work, if the solution is ready?

Mikko Tiihonen in 2004 has created a patch 'xalan-jdk15.patch' (see Bug #67244,
comment number 7). This could be filtered in the ebuild, and it could be applied
only if a user uses >=jdk-1.5.0.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. unmask >=sun-jdk-1.5.0
2. emerge sun-jdk
3. emerge xalan


Actual Results:  
Xalan doesn't compile.

4. Create an overlay
5. Modify xalan-2.6.0-r2.ebuild and create digest
6. emerge xalan

All is well.

Expected Results:  
I think that xalan-2.6.0-r3.ebuild should be created, with the 'xalan-jdk15.patch'
and behaviour described above.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if this is so easy, why not let other people avoid
this error?

Please, don't file duplicate bugs; >=jdk-1.5.0 is package.masked.
