Can an average user build hotspot 1.3.1 on FreeBSD 4.x? Has bill posted many times that he will not support hotspot on FreeBSD 4.x to freebsd-java@? As far as I understand hotspot for 1.3.1 is in the same state as it was in summer 2002 and nothing has changed so far to aid users to build it on 4.x without gathering bill's comments scattered all over freebsd-java@ archives. I know that next patchset will contain needed bits. Users do not want to run 5.0-CURRENT. That's the fact. Yes, bill could be possibly is a good hacker but what all this hacking is done for? I highly appreciate his work but nothing has changed since he started it. It is still easier to set up Java-powered website on Linux or on w2k + apache than loosing hours trying to understand how to build hotspot 1.3.1 on FreeBSD. Just look on this issue from an average admin or Java developer point of view. /fjoe To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
