Oops, I forgot to mention that JRL source drops are back, but *I* can't add back the JRL build due to licensing restrictions, so it needs a new maintainer if it is to go back in. I can't touch the JRL and work on on OpenJDK without a reasonable period of time in between. If anyone does want the JDK source build back in the book, the old JDK page is still under revision control as BLFS/BOOK/general/prog/jdk.SAVE, but read the JRL License so that you are in compliance. On a side note, I did find the info and apply for access to the JDK TCK, but haven't heard back from Sun yet. -- DJ Lucas -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content, and is believed to be clean. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
