Yes, I have some ambitions in this area :). I'd hoped to resolve this faster, but things haven't quite worked out that way so far. To do a source code based JDK 1.2.2 port you need to do something similar to the WordPerfect port where you require people to download the source code and patches manually (thus complying with the SCSL) and then have the build commence from there. Its the compliance with the SCSL I'm trying to nail down 100% at the moment since there is no way I want to be submitting a port for inclusion in FreeBSD that potentially leaves them open to any legal ramifications. A binary port is an entirely different kettle of fish since it involves getting permission from Sun, etc. -- Greg Lewis glewis@trc.adelaide.edu.au Computing Officer +61 8 8303 5083 Teletraffic Research Centre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
