It's fine with me but I would like to see it stay since I do use it and it is one of the more complex build jobs. It could prove beneficial to see it stay. On the other hand, if there is an open alternitive then sure, I'll be glad to see it go.
Loren PS: this is my first post to this group. Just to share a little info about me, I am a 3 year linux admin. Been using linux since Red Hat 6. My current developer system is an LFS/BLFS build 6.3 running on Raid 0. If anyone is interested, I have some special modifications to make LFS work well on Raid 0 root. I am not a veteran coder by any means but I am sure I have a few little tricks I can bring to the table. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Randy McMurchy Sent: Saturday, March 08, 2008 9:28 AM To: BLFS Development List Subject: Re: JDK JRL Source DJ Lucas wrote these words on 03/08/08 09:06 CST: > Hi all, I wanted to see if there were any objections to commenting out > the JDK source build for now. If you think the existing source build is too old, then it looks like you don't have any choice (remember that we are targeting a rather old LFS/BLFS system). Myself I'd like to see it stay, but we'll let the community decide. The downside is that you'll have to comment the whole page out. I don't want it to look like we support binary packages in a stable BLFS release. I'm not really sure we can be flexible here either. In fact, just the few seconds I'm thinking about it makes me sort of lean really heavy of establishing policy of no binary packages in the book unless it's used to bootstrap a source build. Sort of a catch-22, because there are quite a few BLFS packages that rely on Java so we really need it in the book, but you say it must go..... -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.22] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 09:21:00 up 20 days, 1:06, 1 user, load average: 0.17, 0.11, 0.07 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
