Hello,
I've only been monitoring this list for a short while myself,
but... this question does get asked a lot, and (I think) for
good reason. One of the key reasons I started poking around
on blackdown.org was to find out what the plans were for
JDK1.2 on Linux. The FAQ is vague, and clearly was written
some time ago.
My main comment here is:
I think it would be a good idea to update the FAQ, and perhaps
also put a note on the blackdown.org Java-port main page, indicating
the present status of 1.2 portation. Even if the only status
that can be reported is "don't bug us! we're working on it
and will let you know when we have something to tell you", that
would be fine, presuming it was clear that this was datestamped
after the official Sun release of Java2 a few days ago, so people
knew it was recent info.
Just my .02
Ron
