Everything was calm...
But what is it here
https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/813#issuecomment-207053399
Looks like one of Gentoo developers thinks he know better what Gentoo "
user" need...
But one brave developer took attempt to use
FREE version of java (icedtea), not the one a developer prepared by his hands and put at a server in
binary state... Here is the attempt
https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/1221. It was brave attempt... But, now he calm.
Not going to do this, sorry, at least not for the time being.
he say
We
currently never mark icedtea stable
he say
We don't promote icedtea over icedtea-bin
he say
...`because it takes hours to build on some hardware and requires either
itself (obviously a problem), icedtea-bin (so you'll need that either
way) or gcj (even longer build time and Portage gets confused over the
ant-core dependency). The icedtea build may run out of RAM depending on
your CFLAGS and I've seen it fail for all sorts of other reasons.
icedtea-bin is not some untrusted build from upstream but
built by
myself with Gentoo.`...................................................
