Not sure as I haven't looked at the license. However, I'm writing in to say that I'm starting to agree with DJ in that we should probably just have binary-only instructions for the JDK. At first I thought that we may move the binary-only instructions to the Wiki so that we don't have a binary installation in BLFS, but we already have a few that I know of (XML Stylesheets, JUnit, and probably more), so one more can't hurt. And to support many of the BLFS packages, we need a JRE. If there are no objections, I'll create a new JDK page from the existing one and leave the existing one in the repo should we ever need it again. I know that we probably shouldn't have instructions to build an insecure JDK in the 6.3 book, but should we keep the source build JDK in the SVN book, just in case someone does want to build it? -- 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] 11:23:00 up 84 days, 2:11, 1 user, load average: 0.19, 0.83, 0.81 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
