Doesn't the fact that they said that it wasn't, to me, constitute Sun letting us now? I'll forward those emails to devl tomorrow to let the rest of the mailing list decide. > This whole thing has blown right out of > proportion and certainly does not justify the burden we are placing on > prospective Windows users. > How hard is it just to restore the installer to the way it was before? Well, it's in cvs... All it requires is a cvs backout and someone to upload the jre to snapshots as jre-win32-latest.exe. And of course, confirmation from Sun that it's ok to do what they already *specifically* told me we cannot do. I've already suggested the best line of attack on devl (a month ago? more?) which is to make the installer get the jre from Sun's servers instead of ours. That will be easy. Could anyone with a bit of time make this change please? d _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
