[Java-gnome-developer] new Gentoo ebuilds for beta test

[Andrew C. <an...@op...>]

For those running Gentoo:

I have created new ebuilds for libgtk-java, libgnome-java, etc and
replaced java-gnome with a meta package which depends on the various
pieces.

I've tested it on two systems and I think I have the glitches knocked
out of the ebuild. As those on #gnome-java and #java-gnome who have been
listening to me bash away at this thing for the last couple days will
attest, things were massively complicated by the fact that java-gnome is
a fully autoconf'd gnome project. I've got a number of issues that I'll
fix in the various .in files during 2.9

If you're interested, I've put the ebuilds I wrote up at:

http://www.operationaldynamics.com/reference/software/gentoo/

We'll get them into Portage shortly.

If you want to try them, there's a tarball there if you want to put it
into your local overlay.

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=3D~x86 emerge =3Ddev-java/java-gnome-2.8.2

[You'll need to have your Gentoo system on GNOME 2.8 (which last I
checked is still masked, though I've been running it for a while now no
problems)]

I have various programs which I'm working on which quite handily
exercise various bits of these packages, so I'm content that everything
builds, ends up in sensible places, and works.
