Dear All,
I am trying to get some form of infrastructure done to support work on a
unified BSD JDK port. The idea is to supply those who are porting Sun's JDK
to either FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD and any other platform I've forgotten
with a single web site for status reports and such. Unless someone steps
forward on this ... *deafening silence* ... I will take that up and
multi-bsd my web pages.
On top of that, I would really like to have a single mailing list for these
efforts, and I was wondering how much objection there is to using our Java
mailing list for that purpose.
I think that we will benefit from the extra technical discussion that this
will attract. After all, we're all BSD's and what affects one is very likely
going to affect others.
Additionally, doing this will create a sense of unity amongst the BSD Java
porters, which in turn will look good to the outside world (read: Sun) when
we start jumping the hoops for legality of a NetBSD and OpenBSD binary
distribution.
