Is it possible? Maybe, it is WIP? Any plans for this? If here is no any plans for this, I could try to make this upgrade by myself (I'm familiar with JDK build process and sources structure), but here is one big problem: BSD patch. Now BSD patch is real-true-good-old patch: all files in `bsd/' subdirs are created by it from scratches. It is almost impossible to upgrade HotSpot (merge changes between two JDK versions into `bsd' tree). I'm sure, that all files in `bsd' subdirs start their lifes as Solaris or Linux ones, so changes could be merged more easily. Is it possible to get this patch in form "copy files from solaris or linux and then patch them for BSD" form? If yes, I could try to migrate ourr patchest to latest JRL-based sources, which seems to be http://download.java.net/jdk6/6u23/promoted/b05/ (Or I could not find u29 on new site and it is exists as JRL-based source= s?) --=20 // Black Lion AKA Lev Serebryakov
