The following reply was made to PR ports/26793; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Ernst de Haan <ernst@jollem.com> To: Hye-Shik Chang <perky@python.or.kr> Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: ports/26793: New port: java/ibm-jdk Date: Tue, 15 May 2001 21:08:54 +0200 > >[1] I suggest using the link to the download page as I suggested in a previous > > reply to your PR (see the audit trail), it's: > > > > * http://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/dklx130/dklx130-p Okay, then perhaps include both, because this link may allow people to find the file minutes earlier.

You may be right about the load balancing and/or layout policies. And yet, if the link is changed, we could just change the port :) > and I uploaded final(maybe?) port shar. You can download it from > http://www3.kr.freebsd.org/~perky/distfiles/linux-ibm-jdk.txt Downloaded it. And found that the name of the port is "linux-ibm-jdk" although IBM provides several JDKs for Linux, including 1.1 and 1.2 JDKs. Perhaps "linux-ibm-jdk13" is a better name? This is in this respect analog to the name of the other non-IBM Linux JDKs, which are named "linux-jdk" and "linux-jdk13". My suggestion would be to change the names of these ports as well, but I'll submit a new PR for that. Oh, and I must say the Makefile looks very professional! Gonna have to look at it to improve my own ports a bit =) Ernst -- Ernst de Haan Java Architect Jollem Information Technology "Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest" -- Jesus Christ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
