Hello Manfred, Tuesday, March 9, 2004, 1:47:17 PM, you wrote: > Hi Herve, > I would argue for the same thing as for ruby, perl and so on. > Makes it easier for people to understand the port concept. > So that would mean to gradually shift out the java directory. I think it's not so bad to have Java ports in the java directory considering what PITA it is to build Java (even on a fast machine, it takes forever and that's only the tip of the ice berg). This way people might be more aware of the fact that they'll need to go through the linux emu hoops to get it working... I mean the scripting languages are built quickly on any reasonably current hardware. Best regards, Gabriel
