Description Volkmar W. Pogatzki 2021-06-13 09:47:28 UTC
Please last-rite games-strategy/freecol
It blocks jdk-11 unmasking

Can't it depend specifically on Java 8? I'm not aware that's being removed. Perhaps it's not even all that hard to fix for later Java versions. It's a good game and upstream is still active so I don't want to see this go.

If you insist on keeping games-strategy/freecol depending on dev-java/miglayout the "doc" USE flag of the latter should be dropped. (See https://bugs.gentoo.org/786732#c4)

Is there a chance to not depend on miglayout?
