I think normally this is /usr/portage/distfiles. Regards, Daniel -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Igor Mikushkin I wonder if this is a bug in the ebuild. sun-jdk used to be fetch-restricted but it isn't anymore (at least the new versions). If anyone knows if this change applies for the 1.4-branch too, please file a bug. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Until very very recent versions of 1.6 it has never been GPL'ed, has never been redistributable and has *always* required that you go through Sun's portal to get it. It used to be worse - back in the day you used to have to register to get it. Sun's jre however is made available on different terms. And jdk-1.4* will never be GPL'ed. So, you kids have not spent a whole lot of time on java.sun.com in your lives right? And don't read many elog messages either. Don't like it? Go speak to Sun. Got nothing to do with Gentoo. -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

If anyone knows if this change applies for the 1.4-branch too, please file a bug. That will never happen. Sun had third party contracts in place with other parties that developed technologies inside previous jdk's. One of the conditions led to the non-redistribution of the jdk. Recent versions of sun-jdk-1.6 (or perhaps portions thereof) are now released under GPL. If Jonathan is to be believed, this took several years of negotiation and re-implementation -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

You have to go to the website, usually listed with the message that it is fetch restricted, then copy or move it to /usr/portage/distfiles. Why? Well, the idiots want you to agree to their license and the only way they are smart enough to get you to do that is to make everything else screwed up and for you to go to their site and get the software. See, they are programmers that are not smart enough to come up with anything else. Smart huh? Make you wonder about how smart their software is yet?
