My suggestion was to create Java tz > files from the already installed zoneinfo files. So that e.g. Java software and > other software have the same idea of the timezones. > > -- > Andriy Gapon In doing some research, and testing, regarding this idea, I don't believe this suggestion is the best route to go. 1) You can't build the java files based on installed zonefiles. 2) You can't guarantee that the extracted files are going to be the latest timezone data, and haven't been extrated before at a different release level. 3) No port, at the moment, depends on misc/zonedata. In my humble opinion, it is best to handle this inside this port given the nature of the beast that OpenJDK is, and minimize introductions of potential variables. - -jgh - -- Jason Helfman | FreeBSD Committer jgh@FreeBSD.org | http://people.freebsd.org/~jgh -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.18 (FreeBSD) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJO8AacAAoJECBZmmNBUNPcfHwH/jE/JQgmXnY72KiS8XCA5MJz TzDuRw+If8rBQp4sxuCPsiYr8esxugVvWvxps3WVH8GmBioaZecxFidDqcNkcBaA 4jmFIzduSXJj64kImfJOfwWNDaqmV3M0Vq3xnePdRHf1yRcIbl0jXzZex5p0IP54 l5bZU0T+A71R10WyybqxZRhONh+oCT8Nnd+Kd++CvNLg1TabCU7kgMJ32Kh+eaBk aO9aR7o9kiKeEHBai38zghfF1Tv3SytngS6FycD09fb0abwCtQZZ6rMurvCgoJ8C ACNrAWa0UV36SrImULIzCNsdJ05wS1tYBRJaOeFuQ3nleOdgdBOjkqc3kYUJBiI= =7oMe -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
