It's called baiting. He's purposefully calling Java dead in a conversation with someone from the Java team in an attempt to bring on an emotional response rather than technical.

Eh, perhaps the vim herd could take a look at that -- maybe someone should file a bug about it. Although perhaps the version in the tree works just fine, which is why no-one's noticed that there's an update. > So is that app really used? Does anyone care about? Sure looks like > not in both cases. 'Twas added to the tree at user request. Given that Java's basically a dead language and only being used for legacy applications now, it's probably not necessary any more. But then, keeping at least one of the colliding app-vim/ packages around is probably a good idea if only to remind people why categories exist... -- Ciaran McCreesh signature.asc Description: PGP signature

Well, sudo and ant aren't syntax plugins, so that wouldn't make any sense. Also, we're keeping the same names that the upstream script writers use, just as we do everywhere else in Gentoo.

Re: [gentoo-dev] Packages with same name was -> Conversion of Emacs virtual packages
While I always was for uniq package names, tree-wide, renaming doesn't solve anything. Gentoo's binary packages are fundamentally broken. You can't have two binary packages of the same ebuild differing e.g. in use flags, architecture, toolchain, etc. pp. either.

On that note I would hope the vim/vi peeps would rename. app-vim/ant It's quite annoying when one needs the real ANT ( dev-java/ant ), not the vim menu plugin so vi can invoke ant or etc. IMHO app-vim/ant should really be app-vim/vim-ant or something other than just ant.
