Hi, I've submitted a patch for java/openjdk24 that change how it obtains the bootstrap jdk needed to build the port: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D50349 Traditionally the openjdk ports will add the previous version of the jdk as a dependency if a suitable jdk for building the current version is not already installed on the system. For some specific versions it will add the most suitable java/bootstrap-openjdk version instead. This means that to build one of the later OpenJDK versions from ports, the system may end up building and installing a number of the previous versions as well, as it walks down the dependency path until it finds a bootstrap-openjdk dependency. The proposed change will instead download a suitable prebuilt openjdk from the freebsd distcache servers and extract it to the ${WRKSRC} directory before running configure for the port. This makes the prebuilt jdk available to the port during build, but does not install it to the system. The idea is to make such prebuilt jdk's that can be used as bootstrap jdk's for all relevant versions, and change all the openjdk ports to use the same mechanism. This should save both time and installed size when building one of the openjdk ports. Any feedback, or objections to this scheme is most welcome! Tale Care! -- Haraldhelp
