Hi.

I'm on the prowl again. This time, I'm removing the eclipse-sdk-bin
ebuild, as

1) it only exists as ~x86 and ~ppc (that is, marked as unstable
   on x86 and ppc, and not even available on any other platforms).
2) it has been superceeded by dev-util/eclipse-sdk, which is
   the ebuild we'll provide support for in the future.

For those of you with this version of eclipse-sdk-bin installed,
next time you do an update of your system, your installed
dev-util/eclipse-sdk-bin package will be renamed in the portage
database to dev-util/eclipse-sdk, after which you'll notice that
it's upgradeable to a newer version.

I strongly suggest you perform the upgrade, and report back any
bugs to bugs.gentoo.org. We are aware that the "Completing 
install..." splash will pop up every time you start eclipse. This
is an issue that's being worked on upstream (ie, by the eclipse
team themselves).


Kind regards,

Karl T


PS. We'll be removing all the other -bin packages for eclipse
related tools as well. You can help making this process quicker
by submitting new ebuilds that build the -bin packages from 
source.
