G'day all, As you may have noticed, Sun have removed the source files for Update 3. I will contact Sun about this, but I expect they may well suggest we should just switch to OpenJDK 6 and they have no plans for more JRL source releases. While thats going on, we have two alternatives as I see it: 1. Someone could volunteer to host the source files. To comply with the JRL you need to implement some kind of click through to have people retrieve them. I think this rules out me hosting them on the public FreeBSD pages. 2. I could release a quick patchset which is essentially unchanged except that I do a diff against an earlier source release (which I notice are still available). The patchset would include the changes to bring that source code up to Update 3, so it wouldn't matter what the source version was. Comments? Volunteers? -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org
