I am going to document it today. I'll post instructions here and on the web site. erland wrote: > > Regarding not pointing to your repo for update, is this also the case > for people who decide to setup Oracle JVM themselves without > re-distributing their changes ? Of course not.

In the case that someone takes our image, makes a change, re-distributes a new image based on our image, a) it needs to be clear that it is not a CS image, and b) if a group or commercial entity puts that image out there, and wish to provide updates for it, they provide their own server and repo. Servers and bandwidth cost money! Also, I don't want Oracle coming after me for royalty payments. So in this case, it needs to be clear that the only reason this "new" image exists, is to circumvent the fact that I have refused to add the Oracle JVM to our "official" image, and in no way am I seen to be complicit, ie. by providing resources and support for that image. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JackOfAll's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3069 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=99395 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
