There are some license restrictions on distribution of jdk binaries. In order to be distributable, jdk binaries need to pass Sun's test suite (TCK). So the Diablo binary passes, and is distributation. The port, is just source, and does not require testing. A binary built from the port may or may not pass, depending on the current state of development. There can be regressions as things change in the OS, and linked in packages. The jdk has a fair number of dependencies, so it is pretty easy to blow-up a jdk build.
I see. Thanks for the clarification! Regards, Juergen. _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
