>Description:
The ports for the different JDKs do not seem to conform to a certain naming
scheme. The currently available JDKs are listed below.
Port name Version Platform Provider
---------------- ------- -------- --------
java/jdk 1.1 FreeBSD FreeBSD
java/jdk12-beta 1.2 FreeBSD FreeBSD
java/linux-jdk 1.2 Linux Blackdown
java/linux-jdk13 1.3 Linux Sun
A new JDK is in the process of being submitted as a new port:
Port name Version Platform Provider
---------------- ------- -------- --------
java/??? 1.3 Linux IBM
And other JDKs may qualify as candidates as well:
Port name Version Platform Provider
---------------- ------- -------- --------
java/??? 1.1 Linux IBM
java/??? 1.2 Linux IBM
java/??? 1.2 Linux Sun
And what if both Bill Huey and Greg Lewis would come up with a native JDK 1.3
for FreeBSD? Perhaps we should leave such situations out of the picture for a
moment, but something like this *may* happen.
If me or anybody else would like to add one of these JDKs, then what would
have to be the name for this port? I know that we could ofcourse find unique
names, but perhaps we should come up with a naming scheme, apply it to the
existing JDK ports and apply it to any new JDK ports.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
One possible naming scheme would be the following:
* For native FreeBSD JDK ports, name the port "jdkXX" where XX is the major
(2-digit) version number of the JDK, for example "11", "12", "13" or
"14".
* If there would be multiple native JDK ports, then these could be
distinguished by using the name "PPP-jdkXX" where PPP is the name of the
provider.
* For Linux JDK ports, name the port "linux-PPP-jdkXX" where PPP is the
name of the provider in lowercase, for example "blackdown", "ibm", "sun"
or "inprise". And XX is again the major (2-digit) version number of the
JDK.
Any suggestions?
