Here you are, the ports.tar.gz equivalent : ftp://ftp.fr.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/tar_files/pkgsrc.tar.gz (or maybe you can browse directly on the ftp...) BTW, not really topic related but pkgsrc has nice htmls for each package and for each category (so people get freshports information locally at each cvsup). > > > I am not sure we came to some final decision about the location of libs > > and the CLASSPATH management.

Okay. But then you cannot install 2 versions of the same lib and then choose what to use at runtime/compiletime... I am not saying it's bad (as we can anyway override the CLASSPATH using command line parameters) but we must take notice and make a choice. > > have it set automatically after installing a new java lib (because of some > > RMI aps and so).

There is no /usr/local/ruby directory either. I agree. I think the best is to have everything (C, C++, ruby...) used the same way in the system.

Either we go for multiple entries (I mean jakarta-ant being in java/ and devel/ via a link or so) or we should get rid of the java/ dir. As you said before there is no ruby/ or c++/ category. Anyway, how many people are working on the proposal ? Do every java-related port maintainer agree with it ? Help needed ? As soon as we have something "pure" and efficient for java ports, I will try to port/maintain some of the libs I use (Gameframe, log4j, and maybe later some XML-related like JSX, eXist...) ;) Herve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
