I think this is a useful discussion, sorry for not replying earlier. I'm excited by the work people are doing here to get Java working on other architectures on FreeBSD. We've now got the broadest architecture support after Linux, which is great. I've been using the bootstraps that people have been contributing myself, and will continue to do so. That said, these are binary executables that are being installed on FreeBSD user's machines. Trust in the ports system is imperative and I'm going to be very conservative about the trust judgements I make there on behalf of all FreeBSD users. My current position is that I'll add bootstraps where I or another committer has built them. This is why the powerpc64 bootstrap took a while (I now have access to powerpc64 hardware) and why it may take a while for aarch64 and arm6/7 support to appear. Users who are willing can apply the simple patch from the PR and use the bootstrap provided there while we work towards getting it into the system. -- Greg
