Hello, For people who try to install openjdk, they saw that we need to install an other available jdk like diablo-jdk which is really painful to install from ports since we need to fetch one million of distfiles manually. What NetBSD' pkgsrc done is making availables binaries for bootstrapping, I would propose this idea too then the port will not depend on the non-free and painful diablo-jdk. Bootstrap binaries should be done for FreeBSD 7.x release and 8.x release for i386 and amd64 architecture, then the port will be able to download the bootstrap binaries from official FreeBSD ftp servers. I like much this idea, and if you agree on I will send a PR with patches for it, but since I don't have FreeBSD 7.x version I would like someone to make binaries for i386 and amd64. With kind regards, -- Demelier David
