Hi, looks like after about year and half after 1.7.0 we will see a 1.7.1 release of Ant :) Beta2 was released recently, check out release notes: http://people.apache.org/dist/ant/v1.7.1beta2/ I'm gonna commit it now to java-experimental overlay, and took this version bump as a chance to implement some changes: - completely phasing out ant-tasks package which is now possible because nothing depends on it anymore. The USE flags that trigger the deps on individual tasks will move to dev-java/ant package - the compatibility symlinks to /usr/share/ant/lib/ that were created for all tasks in ant-tasks are split will move to the individual tasks instead of dev-java/ant, so they will be created immediately when the tasks get installed and not on depend on the USE flags in dev-java/ant - this means there will be a blocker to ant-tasks (unversioned), hopefully this time it's really the last blocker during the upgrade :) - ant-core installs the style sheets in etc/ as the binary upstream distribution does (Betelgeuse once said something expected them but probably never filled a bug) - EAPI=1 slot deps are used for external package dependencies. Some deps were converted to RDEPEND only to be more accurate. - ant-trax no longer depends on ant-junit because upstream moved some classes around. This could probably break some packages if they depended and used in ANT_TASKS only ant-trax but need also junit. Did some basic testing using remerge-everything-java script from the overlays svn, catched some errors of mine, no upstream breakages yet. Testing and bug reports of course welcome. -- Vlastimil Babka (Caster) Gentoo/Java
