More in particular the java/jdk16 port. I find this a very useful port and I'm really happy that it makes the latest Java JDK so easily available. However, the JDK16 version in the port is still on Update3, while Sun has already released Update6. This latest updates contain numerous important bugfixes and feature additions, one of which is of particular interest to us (us would be 'Scouts en Gidsen Vlaanderen', a Belgian/Flemish scouting organisation). It would of course be very nice if we could get these latest updates (though just Update4 would already be sufficient for us) via the ports system. Would you be so kind to shed some light on a possible planning or current progress for updating this port? Mind you, I'm not asking you to 'update or fix this at once!', I'm totally aware that this is a voluntary project. I'm just asking if there are any plans for updating so we can adjust our plans if necessary. With kind regards, Michiel PS: I have already sent a similar email to the official port maintainer at glewis@freebsd.org from a different email address. I'm sorry if this email ends up at your address again. I do not want to appear rude or impatient, I just want to make sure this email is in fact received by the right person. -- Michiel Detailleur Medewerker Webtoepassingen Scouts en Gidsen Vlaanderen vzw Lange Kievitstraat 74 2018 Antwerpen tel 03 231 16 20 fax 03 232 63 92 www.scoutsengidsenvlaanderen.be
