Greg, this is a great idea - tzupdater.jar seems to contain tzdata*.zip file that in turn contains actual "javazi" files. Maybe, having control over source for freebsd javas, we could tweak java to [first] look into /usr/local/share/javazi (or something like that) instead of creating symlinks. > Its not actually a > problem that you don't have a JDK to run tzupdater with (hint: see the > current diablo-jdk16 port and how it handles tzupdater).
