https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D237370 --- Comment #16 from Greg Lewis <glewis@FreeBSD.org> --- In terms of where to upstream patches, it would likely take a dedicated developer several months to coordinate getting patches upstreamed to the Mercurial repository. No one has stepped forward with that sort of time ov= er the last few years since Java 8. I've also noticed that it seems to limit collaboration since people have to sign an Oracle Contributor Agreement for us to upstream their patches and n= ot as many people are familiar with Mercurial as they are Git. The interface doesn't provide the same tooling that a site like Github does as well to en= able easy forking and pull requests. This has led to a lot of patches existing = only in the FreeBSD port that were generally applicable. For Java 11 I decided to try following the AdoptOpenJDK ports on Github. So far this has been positive in terms of collaboration and ease of releases/p= ort updates, at least from my perspective. Ideally we'd still look to upstream these changes, but that will ultimately still require someone dedicated to doing so with sufficient time to make it happen. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
