I find this useful: "less `equery w <package>`", although it does seem to work
only on packages that are installed already.

Well, it sort of tells you what to do. For once portage has a error
that isn't encrypted or something. lol

!!! dev-java/jnlp-bin-1.2-r1 has fetch restriction turned on.
!!! This probably means that this ebuild's files must be downloaded
!!! manually. See the comments in the ebuild for more information.

* Please download javaws-1_2-dev.zip and place it in /usr/portage/distfiles

I just went to the link provided, click accept on the license thingy and
there they are. After you get them downloaded, just put them in
/usr/portage/distfiles and emerge them normally.

It's been a while since I have ran into this.

Thanks all for the help. I stopped after the emerge -p and tried to
figure out what to do from there. The install was easy once I saw the
error message. The trick was to try to do the emerge knowing the
software was downloaded yet and that it would fail. Then I got all the
information I needed. Thanks again.

cp it to /usr/portage/distfiles or wherever your DISTDIR is. Change permissions
to portage:portage.

And that is all explained in the einfo of the ebuilds and/or the
documentation.
