Hi Duane, > I see that the latest patchset for 1.3.1 is '9', not '8'. How do I > compile with patchset 9? Do the following: =2D Use CVSup to update your ports collection. =2D Confirm that the java/jdk13 port is now patchset 9 =2D Install the port sysutils/portupgrade if you don't have it yet =2D Do 'portupgrade jdk' to upgrade jdk13 to patchset 9 > It looked like if I just edit the Makefile in /usr/ports/java/jdk13 and > change the line "JDK_PATCHSET_VERSION=3D" to '9', that would do it, but > apparently not. What else must I do to it to compile with patchset 9? > (I tried w/ NO_CHECKSUM=3D"yes", but that still didn't do it -- I see that > distinfo has the MD5 checksums for j2sdk-1_3_1-src.tar.gz and > bsd-jdk131-patches-8.tar.gz) If you would have done a 'make makesum' as well you would have got one step= =20 further, but then perhaps something changed in the port itself as well, so= =20 you would miss out on that with that kind of approach. > And can anybody tell me exactly what the 'real' story and status of JDK > on FreeBSD is? Should I even be concerned about patchset 9? Is it As far as I know, JDK 1.3.1 patchset 9 is considered to be stable. =46rom my experience, so is JDK 1.4.2 patchset 5. I switched over from JDK= =20 1.3.x to 1.4.x a few months ago. But since I'm currently not running it in= =20 a production environment, I'm really not the one to ask. On my workstation= =20 it works like a charm though, with my daily Ant and Orion work. I'm using FreeBSD 4.x still, but both 4.x and 5.x branches are supported.=20 Some features, like SMP-friendly threading, seems to work only on 5.x,=20 though. Just my EUR 0.02... Ernst
