@net-p2p: as part of bug 553900 and bug 552452, we need to update ebuild which have a dependency on jython to a more recent one (at least 2.7). frostwire happens to be one of these packages but unfortunately, it hasn't been much looked after in recent years and bumping the slot turns out to be tedious. Truth to be told, I haven't managed to make it work. Further, looking closely at the ebuild, it seems to be yet another of these packages that downloads a binary and installs it as is... that's not what we really want, do we? Latest version uses Gradle which we don't have packaged in Gentoo as of now.

I'm masking it for now. Let me know if you guys want to keep it. Thanks.

Oh and I forgot to mention: I wrote the package does not compile/work with recent JDKs. Given that it installs a precompiled binary, you end up with this error after manually fixing the build in your CVS repo (yes, the ebuild that currently sits in the main repo is completely broken):
