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

[Nicholas R. <ni...@mn...>]

I just emerged java-gnome with your ebuilds.  everything seemed to go
fine and the emerge completed without errors.  i haven't had a chance to
test what was actually installed, but i would assume that it works.

Just to note that i had to uninstall the previous 2.6 version before i
could install the 2.8.  the emerge was blocked by 2.6, but said it was
blocked by 2.8.  i had to look in you gnome-java ebuild to see that i
needed to unmerge the 2.6 first.

As an avid gentoo user, i'd just like to say thanks.  when do you think
these will make it into portage?  also, what would be nice would be to
have the 2.8 ebuilds in stable and some 2.9 ebuilds as arch masked. :-)
