No, I feel I am already doing more than I should to help given my past treatment. I have been making most issues with potential resolutions know in #gentoo-java for the past ~48 hours. I have been spending most time fixing stuff in my overlay. As I have been for over a year. https://github.com/Obsidian-StudiosInc/os-xtoo > It's nice to have a warning, but sounding alarmist without concrete > help doesn't actually help all that much. People have been asking in #gentoo-java about Java 9. I was simply letting everyone know it would be some time before that is likely to be the case. That alone was a courtesy to others. It does not take much to find out there are considerable issues with Java 9 from most any web search. For anyone who cares, most do not. Thus the present state of Java on Gentoo. Which I have brought up many times over the past years. A new major version taking some time should not be of surprise to anyone given that fact. If you recall I got banned from Github over commenting on Java 9 early access PR. I have also commented on another since. https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/1721 https://github.com/gentoo/gentoo/pull/6033 You can see the history of jdk 9 I put in my overlay almost a year ago. That could have been in Gentoo. I maintained EA builds till release...

This is the visible result of blocking people, with no one else wiling to do the work. I am playing catch up now. -- William L. Thomson Jr.
