-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 On Wed, Dec 21, 2011 at 01:05:54AM +0200, Andriy Gapon thus spake: >You don't need it installed if the building of java timezone files is done >within a jdk port. OTOH, if java timezone data lives in a separate port, then >it needs to be updatable independently and thus it needs some tools for the >zoneinfo -> java tz conversion. > >E.g. please see some earlier deliberations on this topic which never came to >fruition: >http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.devel.java/11756 >http://article.gmane.org/gmane.os.freebsd.devel.java/11638 > >Now that you have this thing going I hope that you would be interested to >implement it as close to perfection as possible :-) >Even if not, then what you already have is much better that the status quo. >Thank you. > >P.S. Just noticed Jilles' followup, could have saved myself some typing :) >But since this is already written then I am just hitting Send. > The original stab at this is here: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-java/2011-December/009470.html This link has a shar that creates timezone data port, and replaces openjdk6 zi distributed zoneinformation. It uses openjdk as a build dependency. It can be re-worked to install to ${LOCALBASE}/share/java/zoneinfo, and then have other ports link to it post-install. I can rename to something more appropriate like jdk-tzdata.
