[21:15:14] <radfoj> hi, I have only quick question ... its not about me, but lets have guy who is running x86 arch ... and he want sun-jdk 1.5, so he will unmask only this one package via package.keywords .. is it good idea, especially now, after new java-system was introduced last month and is in ~arch?
[21:15:52] <nichoj> radfoj: well, if you want 1.5, you'll need it...
[21:17:42] <nichoj> radfoj: just keep in mind, most of the problems we see are due to either: a) using stable keywords, but not adding appropriate package.keyword entries and b) having used java 1.5 in the past when it was package.mask'd
[21:24:20] <radfoj> nichoj: I try ask once more and little differently ... gentoo newbie, probably new install (x86 arch) want sun-jdk-1.5 ,,, is it enough to unmask only this one package, or to get sun-jdk-1.5 is it better to unmask all packages mentioned in java-upgrade-guide?
[21:26:13] <Caster> radfoj: better upgrade
[21:26:14] <nichoj> radfoj: like I said, you need to keyword all packages mentioned
[21:27:16] <Caster> well he could also unmask precisely the last revision of sun-jdk-1.5 that was generation-1, and make sure it won't ever get into system vm/root's env
[21:27:27] <Caster> and use it only as user
[21:27:36] <Caster> dunno what's more newb friendly
[21:27:50] <nichoj> Caster: there isn't a revision that's generation-1 in the tree anymore
[21:27:58] <Caster> ah, figures
[21:28:20] <nichoj> and I wouldn't recommend it... because you'd have all the problems that required the mask in the first place
