Another idea - would it be a good idea to quickpkg the 1.3 JDKs on my OLD system (where they are installed) and move them over to the new system?

Be aware that /var/db/pkg only contains the ebuilds, not any other files needed from /usr/portage, such as patches, so this only works for a limited number of packages. -- Neil Bothwick Humpty Dumpty DOS - Just a shell of himself. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

I might need 1.3 SDK variants too for maintenance of old product versions (it is not THAT simple to get a customer to upgrade :-), so - are there some ebuilds for 1.3 JDK versions around? You can pull the ebuilds out of /var/db/pkg/ on your old system and put them in your local overlay. You could also pull them from Gentoo's CVS repository [1]. Just be warned that since they are unmaintained now, you may have some fixing to do. -Richard [1] http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/dev-java/sun-jdk/?hideattic=0 -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list

My old gentoo PC has JDK 1.3 versions installed, so it shows them in the "installed" part. Ciao, Wolfgang <>
