We already have a jdk8 MIPS64 port and we will maintain it for a long time, so I think mips-port/jdk8 or mips-port/jdk8u may be needed. I do have plans to upgrade our port to the latest jdk/jdk master. Actually, I have done some research and experiment in the past few days. However, I can't guarantee how long it will take to get the job done. I have one question about the name. Our port is for MIPS64, and I know some companies are doing MIPS32 port. I am not sure whether they will upstream their work. If yes, it is not known yet that whether the code is merged into "mips-port/jdk11" (or jdk8, or ...) or into different repositories. So which name (mips-port or mips64-port) are more suitable for the current situation? > Once a repo is in place, I can give further guidance in how to proceed. Thank you.
