Oracle Java [Solved]

[heathen]

Oracle keeps wanting me to update to the newest Jre 1.7.0._17. I looked into it and the newest version available in the weekly repo is 1.7.0_9, which is what I have. That's 5 updates behind. Is there something in the works, or should I put in a bug request? Have yet to use the bug reports, I'm sure my day is coming soon.

You can use Portage, if know what to do. If support is needed ask here, but remember that Portage is not the official package manager in Sabayon.

Code: Select all

emerge -pv =dev-java/oracle-jre-bin-1.7.0.17

[heathen]

Code: Select all

emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "=dev-java/oracle-jre-bin-1.7.0.17".


I'm assuming this means there are no dependencies for it. Maybe I should wait a little while?

Hi!

You'll need to perform as root:

Code: Select all

emerge --sync


which updates the portage tree and thus all the packages available via portage/emerge.

Good luck!!

Thankyou! I did that and then ran -pv again. What does this mean exactly? I don't quite understand what this is telling me to do:

Code: Select all

The following license changes are necessary to proceed:
 (see "package.license" in the portage(5) man page for more details)
# required by =dev-java/oracle-jre-bin-1.7.0.17 (argument)
>=dev-java/oracle-jre-bin-1.7.0.17 Oracle-BCLA-JavaSE

!!! The following installed packages are masked:
- net-wireless/broadcom-sta-5.100.82.112-r2::sabayon (masked by: Broadcom license(s))
A copy of the 'Broadcom' license is located at '/usr/portage/licenses/Broadcom'.

- www-plugins/adobe-flash-11.2.202.262::gentoo (masked by: AdobeFlash-10.3 license(s))
A copy of the 'AdobeFlash-10.3' license is located at '/usr/portage/licenses/AdobeFlash-10.3'.

- dev-python/pysqlite-2.6.3::gentoo (masked by: package.mask)
/usr/portage/profiles/package.mask:
# Michał Górny <mgorny@gentoo.org>
# Unmaintained and replaced by built-in sqlite3 module in Python.
# Masked for removal in 30 days, bug 452122.


Not sure how to 'change licenses' and if and why those packages need to be unmasked?

Isn't Portage suggesting you to use?

Code: Select all

--autounmask-write

$ man portage

Code: Select all

package.license
                This will allow ACCEPT_LICENSE (see make.conf(5)) to be aug‐
                mented for a single package.

                Format:
                - comment lines begin with # (no inline comments)
                - one DEPEND atom per line followed by additional licenses or groups

$ man make.conf

Code: Select all

ACCEPT_LICENSE = [space delimited list of licenses or groups]
              This variable is used to mask packages based on licensing restric‐
              tions. It may contain both license and group names, where group names
              are prefixed with the '@' symbol. License groups are defined in the
              license_groups file (see portage(5)). In addition to license and group
              names, the * and -* wildcard tokens are also supported. Refer to GLEP
              23 for further information: http://www.gen‐
              too.org/proj/en/glep/glep-0023.html.
              Defaults to the value of * -@EULA.
              Examples:
              # Only accept licenses in the FREE license group (i.e. Free Software)
              ACCEPT_LICENSE="-* @FREE"
              # As before, but exclude the "Artistic" license
              ACCEPT_LICENSE="-* @FREE -Artistic"
              # Accept any license except those in the EULA license group (default)
              ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA"

Licenses explained in official Gentoo Handbook
Licenses expalined in unofficial Gentoo wiki

A quick-dirty-easy solution would be to enable ALL licenses. To do so, insert the following line in you /etc/make.conf

Code: Select all

ACCEPT_LICENSE="*"

Well, life distracted me and I didn't get to it, and then last night an update to Jre 1.7.0._17 came out through Rigo and it's all good! But thankyou because now I know what to do next time for any similar situation.
