 Posted: Tue Oct 11, 2005 2:04 pm Post subject: Some extra download to performe |
 |
|
Hello,
I am a beginner with gentoo, and have problems as soon as I have to do something that is not written in the installation guide 
I am at the end of step 6, have lounched emerge --emptytree system. Everything went well, but now my computer just stopped at 27 of 131 : j2sk-1.4 ....
The message is : Please download j2sdk-1_4_2-doc.zip from http://.... and move it to /usr/portage/distfiles
I have two questions :
- How to download this file (I have no links2 nor lynx any more)?
- How to continue emerge --emptytree system after that?
If somebody could help me it would be really nice!!
Best regards
Jan |

To download that package you can use wget:
| Code: | | # wget http://theaddress.com/whatever |
Then just rerun the same command. I dont know of any way for it to start off from where it left off though. I am pretty sure that you will have to run the entire command again.
| Code: | | # emerge --emptytree system |
--sonik

Also if you nothing emerge after --emptytree, you can resume it:

But actually in this case, problem is with Java/JDocs. As java is not GPL, it is not included in Portage for downloads. So, in order to download Java from https://sdlcweb2c.sun.com/ECom/EComActionServlet;jsessionid=9791328C41DA670A854F722DA3542515 you'll need to go there with a browser, accept the license, and then you'll be able to download the file. Then copy it as it says to /usr/portage/distfiles and run emerge again (So wget wouldn't work unless you have a link to that file somewhere else than Sun.)
So, I would actually suggest using 'USE="-doc" emerge --emptytree system', meaning installing all BUT java DOCs, and then installing them later on when actually needed. |

Thanks for the hint.
I just noticed the "easy" way wasn't possible. So I changed the USE.
Thank you

My question is why is it defaulting to use the Sun Java instead of the blackdown? If I run an emerge --emptytree it installs the blackdown distrobution and not the Sun. Is this different for different archs? I looked and didnt see a specific USE flag for it.

| I've checked now - it seems that blackdown IS the default java. Its JAVA DOCS get defaulted to Sun. So, to override it, remove "doc" from your USE list. |
