I then get short on disk space and delete the Linux version. Then patchset 11 is released and I want to upgrade to it (ok, not _me_, but the hypothetical me :). I shouldn't have to reinstall the Linux JDK to do so, but as it stands I do. This is an issue with the port, not what you've said, but it does impact on any code that specifically assumes bootstrapping with the Linux JDK. My other comment is that the linux-jdk port should do what all the other Linux ports do in terms of Linux emulation. If they turn it on, then so should the linux-jdk port. It would seem sensible that installing a Linux based port should turn on linux emulation if its not already on, but its something that needs to be consistent across the board IMO. Your point that this is an FAQ and something should be done about it is a good one though :). - Greg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
