Replying to [comment:5 Krejzi]:
> Also, as a side note. I was looking at getting the proper version using
BLFS currency scripts. The problem with openjdk detection is that it
detects packages available on LFS servers, not the actual upstream ones.

differently from other packages, and because of that they do not appear in
wget-list. If you could make the download part look more like other
packages, the currency could be used to fetch every new version. Would
that be a problem?
The layout can certainly be changed (it would be nice to have those in
wget-list), but the currency problem lies elsewhere: there are new "8uxxx-
byy" tags every week or so, but those are not releases. The only way to
know which xxx/yy combination is a true release is to monitor the
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/overview/index.html site.
Also their issue tracking system is hard to use: identical issues do not
have the same number if they are applied to different xxx (for example
8u151 and 8u152) or different version (8 or 9).
