Description David Grant 2005-03-10 10:16:54 UTC

It's just some docs right? Why hard mask it? The reason given is for sun-jdk-1.5 not docs. Fine to mask sun-jdk but no reason given for masking java-sdk-docs so it should be unmasked

bash-2.05b# emerge -vp =dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.5.0

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies   
!!! All ebuilds that could satisfy "=dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.5.0" have been masked.
!!! One of the following masked packages is required to complete your request:
- dev-java/java-sdk-docs-1.5.0 (masked by: package.mask)
# <axxo@gentoo.org>
# If you use 1.5 you will get sandbox violations on /dev/random
# please don't file any more bugs on that issue 
#
# 1.5 defaults too -target 1.5 making downgrading to a 1.4(/1.3)
# impossible, see bug 65937 for more information/discussion


For more information, see MASKED PACKAGES section in the emerge man page or 
section 2.2 "Software Availability" in the Gentoo Handbook.
