hi, In my opinion it's not good idea to make jdk14 port depend on additional infrastructure. bsd.java.mk was designed to process java port. But jdk14 is not a clear java port from this point of view. Additionally it's very critical to be sure what no accidiental or unauthorized changes will not be committed into this infrastucture. Espessially implicitly. Making it depend on bsd.java.mk opens great perspective of such changes. So, I'd prefer to have clean jdk14 port which is not depending on unneeded items and infrastructure. I respect your work very much guys, but being conservative is also very good choice sometimes to avoid future problems. And last point, about using of 'java/linux-sun-jdk14' port for bootstraping when 'java/jdk14' is already installed. If you'll make closer look on exact contents of BUILD_DEPENDS in this case you'll realize following item: : /usr/local/jdk1.4.2/bin/javac:/usr/ports/java/linux-sun-jdk14 So, if jdk14 is installed -- it'll be used for bootstaping and java/linux-sun-jdk14 will not be installed in this case. I did it to avoid potential infinite loops for resources which has own logic of dependancies detection (it's kinda dangerous to have jdk14 port depending on jdk14 port) On Mon, Jul 26, 2004 at 05:52:26PM +0000, Greg Lewis wrote: > Synopsis: [PATCH] java/jdk14: use bsd.java.mk for JDK bootstrap setting > > State-Changed-From-To: feedback->open > State-Changed-By: glewis > State-Changed-When: Mon Jul 26 17:47:58 GMT 2004 > State-Changed-Why: > The PR is still relevant.
