This is a cryptographically signed message in MIME format. --------------msCE96E8E248E3EA827B5ADEFB Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Joe, I appreciated your comments and was surprised at Nate William's reply. I gave him the benefit of the doubt and assumed that I had missed something on the website (http://www.freebsd.org/java). I went back to look for something like an anonymous CVS, or something that I could just look at and decide for myself whether I was capable and had the time. I still havent found anything. Given what I have heard about SUN allowing ports it is not as simple as "here's the source have at it." But obviously someone has access to it and might have already gone through it a little bit and made a task list. I work that way sometimes and sometimes I just go through it sequentially. Either way I just thought I would offer some time since I know there must be hundreds of us wanting the port for FreeBSD. Also from reading what I could find at blackdown (http://www.blackdown.org) I gather that there is a fair amount of testing requiring human observation. I am human and have made a few observations in my time so I would be willing to do this as well. Perhaps if small chunks can be tested at a time we could make use of the hundreds of idle FreeBSD machines out there :) I have three machines running FreeBSD now and while they are slow, sometimes I am too, so that shouldn't be too bad. Anyway I don't know anything about Mr. Williams and reserve judgement. He may have a very long commute to and from his place of email and may not be in a very good mood when he reads the hundreds of emails asking when are we going to be there, are we there yet, and on and on and on. Also I do not believe for a second that porting the VM is all fun and games and I am very impressed with the 1.1.7 port. It is much better behaved than the reference on WinNT that I use at work. I am anxious to work with the JCE and so I offer my time. Take it or leave it. richardl --------------msCE96E8E248E3EA827B5ADEFB Content-Type: application/x-pkcs7-signature; name="smime.p7s" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="smime.p7s" Content-Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature MIIHGwYJKoZIhvcNAQcCoIIHDDCCBwgCAQExCzAJBgUrDgMCGgUAMAsGCSqGSIb3DQEHAaCC BMIwggS+MIIEJ6ADAgECAgEBMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBBAUAMIHAMQswCQYDVQQGEwJVUzETMBEG A1UECBMKQ2FsaWZvcm5pYTEQMA4GA1UEBxMHQ29uY29yZDElMCMGA1UEChMcU2VjdXJlIENv bXB1dGluZyBDb3Jwb3JhdGlvbjEXMBUGA1UECxMOQXV0aGVudGljYXRpb24xIjAgBgNVBAMT GVNlY3VyZSBDZXJ0aWZpY2F0ZSBTZXJ2ZXIxJjAkBgkqhkiG9w0BCQEWF3Njc0BzZWN1cmVj b21wdXRpbmcuY29tMB4XDTk5MDQyMzA0Mzc1OFoXDTAwMDQyMjA0Mzc1OFowgcYxCzAJBgNV BAYTAlVTMRMwEQYDVQQIEwpDYWxpZm9ybmlhMRAwDgYDVQQHEwdDb25jb3JkMSUwIwYDVQQK ExxTZWN1cmUgQ29tcHV0aW5nIENvcnBvcmF0aW9uMRcwFQYDVQQLEw5BdXRoZW50aWNhdGlv bjEaMBgGA1UEAxMRUmljaGFyZCBMZXZlbmJlcmcxNDAyBgkqhkiG9w0BCQEWJXJpY2hhcmRf bGV2ZW5iZXJnQHNlY3VyZWNvbXB1dGluZy5jb20wgZ8wDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEBBQADgY0AMIGJ AoGBAKpL5Urv6zf+sjKmA9wJ/oBejxOlPOg4GgNJSh1K1zWBA+V2MQutaqgMJwpjlzPn2Kav utZyzYKqDWCibUoY3gKfLHugidF53ffnvWzuygrrpqRTjCRqnFNmlDCcgRVQIppgqcMLoduq Or3d0gb6nJ3m7UjfImuaqcy5tk1Egc6LAgMBAAGjggG+MIIBujAJBgNVHRMEAjAAMBEGCWCG SAGG+EIBAQQEAwIE8DALBgNVHQ8EBAMCBeAwKAYJYIZIAYb4QgENBBsWGVNDUyBHZW5lcmF0 ZWQgQ2VydGlmaWNhdGUwHQYDVR0OBBYEFKG++cxwT0/07iFrO17RHnkXrzDfMIHtBgNVHSME geUwgeKAFEuxCnJZDcUgRIBBqw8+QL5O3YproYHGpIHDMIHAMQswCQYDVQQGEwJVUzETMBEG A1UECBMKQ2FsaWZvcm5pYTEQMA4GA1UEBxMHQ29uY29yZDElMCMGA1UEChMcU2VjdXJlIENv bXB1dGluZyBDb3Jwb3JhdGlvbjEXMBUGA1UECxMOQXV0aGVudGljYXRpb24xIjAgBgNVBAMT GVNlY3VyZSBDZXJ0aWZpY2F0ZSBTZXJ2ZXIxJjAkBgkqhkiG9w0BCQEWF3Njc0BzZWN1cmVj b21wdXRpbmcuY29tggEAMDAGA1UdEQQpMCeBJXJpY2hhcmRfbGV2ZW5iZXJnQHNlY3VyZWNv bXB1dGluZy5jb20wIgYDVR0SBBswGYEXc2NzQHNlY3VyZWNvbXB1dGluZy5jb20wDQYJKoZI hvcNAQEEBQADgYEAqb9Fo8OYAf2COChkXMlfPhUUpn/OW95xo6XKA879CF+aLy7iHTlQAx8S xXzy44+SdLGr0ZgwbVbhykLq/14OtE1AQHI39/im0hLphjXgdEbNBeItzfXeyKrvliLSNRDt saJzsI4JSjo4J09bvTHkihImy6KvH8QyfVRc6FMgMF0xggIhMIICHQIBATCBxjCBwDELMAkG A1UEBhMCVVMxEzARBgNVBAgTCkNhbGlmb3JuaWExEDAOBgNVBAcTB0NvbmNvcmQxJTAjBgNV BAoTHFNlY3VyZSBDb21wdXRpbmcgQ29ycG9yYXRpb24xFzAVBgNVBAsTDkF1dGhlbnRpY2F0 aW9uMSIwIAYDVQQDExlTZWN1cmUgQ2VydGlmaWNhdGUgU2VydmVyMSYwJAYJKoZIhvcNAQkB FhdzY3NAc2VjdXJlY29tcHV0aW5nLmNvbQIBATAJBgUrDgMCGgUAoIGxMBgGCSqGSIb3DQEJ AzELBgkqhkiG9w0BBwEwHAYJKoZIhvcNAQkFMQ8XDTk5MDQyOTAwMzkwNFowIwYJKoZIhvcN AQkEMRYEFKDf8hvvwIUK6UqYLUGI1ancn9i+MFIGCSqGSIb3DQEJDzFFMEMwCgYIKoZIhvcN AwcwDgYIKoZIhvcNAwICAgCAMAcGBSsOAwIHMA0GCCqGSIb3DQMCAgFAMA0GCCqGSIb3DQMC AgEoMA0GCSqGSIb3DQEBAQUABIGAeQJdD8+waXwOB5mgQAG7MgSODB56wxofY3kUaox2tpDg H5MEuShbiVYfJTABGk8lnIqCh2zT2SAIzk1sYd0XWILOB8bnPOOfbXg9Q680TVTFLKyDIqKm BtUehsV/kir8bfoI7dZtWmd/si4+NO93TU8M7E6Au6NfPNoS7F5Ra3I= --------------msCE96E8E248E3EA827B5ADEFB-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
