G'day all,
As you may have noticed, Sun have removed the source files for Update 3.
I will contact Sun about this, but I expect they may well suggest we should
just switch to OpenJDK 6 and they have no plans for more JRL source
releases. While thats going on, we have two alternatives as I see it:
1. Someone could volunteer to host the source files. To comply with the
JRL you need to implement some kind of click through to have people
retrieve them. I think this rules out me hosting them on the public
FreeBSD pages.
2. I could release a quick patchset which is essentially unchanged except
that I do a diff against an earlier source release (which I notice are
still available). The patchset would include the changes to bring that
source code up to Update 3, so it wouldn't matter what the source
version was.
Comments? Volunteers?
