Updated BLFS to JDK-1.5.0.11 source and binary. > Some notes: > > I listed the source download urls as it appears they are freely > available without acknowloging a license agreement.

I was gonna update that because there are some JDK6 issues yet, see below. > Added an instruction to delete the copy of the binary download. > IIRC, the sed is not necessary anymore since we don't care which head program we use. The instructions that needed the modification have long since been removed (bypass the license agreement). I had completely forgotten the why and had missed it in last review. I do know for certain that it's not needed in the new version so they have already been removed from the pending JDK6u1 instructions.
BTW, an update on that. JDK6 can't go in yet due to the JDBC4 changes WRT hsqldb (from OOo) and probably bdb too (haven't checked). Most upstream was building against b88 or b93 (can't recall), and Sun pulled the EOU features from derby (java db) shortly before release, so not much help yet from the package maintainers. Fop and Subversion build OK, as do a couple of other packages who's names slip my mind, but I haven't tested with any _real_ use other than the plugin and compiler. I did kick out a PDF BLFS book with FOP-93? and all looked well. Also, one of the test suites had to be run in a windowed environment, I think FOP but not sure. No time to check right now, but will get back soon. -- DJ Lucas -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
