This includes the JDK. From /usr/ports/java/jdk13/Makefile: RESTRICTED= "Redistribution of pre-compiled binaries isn't permitted" For those ports, you'll have to fetch them yourself since we aren't allowed to distribute them. A complete list of such ports can be found in /usr/ports/LEGAL. - jim -- - jim mock. email: mij@soupnazi.org web: http://soupnazi.org - - freebsd project: jim@FreeBSD.org opendarwin: mij@opendarwin.org -
