Folks,



package provided says:

dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4.2.08

while virtuals says:

virtual/jdk            dev-java/sun-j2sdk

To 'fix' this issue, I altered virtuals like this:


+++ default-darwin/macos/virtuals       7 Aug 2005 12:35:48 -0000

I got repoman telling me I didn't have any Java installed on my OSX system. I took a look into the macos/virtuals file and macos/10.4/ package.provided file and figured there seems to be an inconsistency. --- default-darwin/macos/virtuals 6 Aug 2005 22:43:40 -0000 1.7 note that the virual/jre seems to be fine and in line with package.provided. are there any objections to this change? should it be the other way around (the edit in package.provided)? ... or can I just check it in?

Kito and I discussed this yesterday, and he committed the fix about 15 hours ago, or somewhere thereabouts. From what I can see in CVS, the problem is fixed. He essentially did what you did, but in an effect of what he felt is more correct. Since I'm no expert on how the java herd divides up the packages, I left him to do his thing. To save you the trouble, here's the important stuff:

macos $ grep -R java .
./10.3/package.provided:dev-java/javascriptcore-96
./10.3/package.provided:dev-java/sun-jdk-1.4.2.08
./10.3/package.provided:dev-java/sun-jre-bin-1.4.2.08
