It was last minute change and since this tool (unpack) is not used while
building jdk14 port, I did not paid enough attention to test this change
at -CURRENT system. Sorry.
Important changes since last patchset:
. jdk14 port is now JDK 1.4.2 based!
. JavaWS distributing with jdk
. Runway problem fixed (fork() is no more problem for java apps)
. Sound support updated
. IPv6 support overhauled
. Drag'n'Drop support fixed (require open-motif mods)
As for now there's no more outstanding issues with this port!
FreeBSD port is also got a important of changes:
. optimized setup is now default (to get debuging bins/libs use WITH_DEBUG)
. bootstrap jdk autodetection. If WITH_LINUX_BOOTSTRAP is not set, then
it checks all known to work JDKs installed. If nothing found, forces
to install of linux-sun-jdk14
. Because of above change there's no NATIVE_BOOTSTRAP option anymore. If
native jdk14 is installed, it will be used by default.
processes problem for people who use Runtime.getRuntime.exec() method
and related things. Least five people reported that this patch fixed
problem for them.
IMPORTANT: I'd also suggested to all jdk14 users who runs FreeBSD 4.x
and use libc_r at FreeBSD 5.x to upgrade.
. Stop removing "src.zip" from installation bundle. Since -p4 it builds
correctly and there's no reason to forbit people to use it.
. Bump PORTREVISION.
. Add j2se/ext/plugin/build/solaris/GNUmakefile to PTHREAD_FILES. Should
fix plugin compilation on -CURRENT. Mea culpa.

. Use ${PTHREAD_LIBS} rather than -pthread or -lc_r.
. Install system preferences to avoid annoying and constant error messages.

start native JDK port build. linprocfs mounted become pre-requisite of
build after Linux SUN JDK port was updated to 1.4.2.
Add run-time (pre-build) check for linprocfs mounted as well.
Bump space requirements note about disk space required for build of
whole JDK 1.4.1 port and package to more appropriate value (as reported
by many people).
include/bsd -> include/freebsd in sources, but not reflected
this change in pkg-plist)

. Put the MD JNI headers in include/freebsd _not_ include/bsd. This
brings the 1.4 port in line with 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, and arguably inline
with Solaris and Linux.

for JDK 1.4.1. This is complete and close to production quality
native JDK with both working client and server native JVMs. Local micro
benchmarks shown very little difference between Linux and FreeBSD JVMs in
speed.
One of important points of this patchset that it marks point when we are
very close to passing of Sun TCK tests. Currently about 20 of >27000 tests
are known to be broken (tests were run at -STABLE). If testing of this
patchset will be smooth and founding of this work will be continued we
may expect to have binary distribution of JDK 1.4.1 in April or begining
of May.
BUT, don't forget that even TCK tests can't cover all possible problems
and this is -beta patchset. Keep your eyes open and report your problems
to freebsd-java mailing list or to me directly!
* About supported FreeBSD releases:
Altough 4.8-RELEASE will be first officially supported FreeBSD release,
you may use JDK 1.4.1-p3 at stock post-02-Feb-2003 -STABLE or -CURRENT.
You also may use it at post-07-Jan-2003 -STABLE and -CURRENT (including
5.0-RELEASE), but it's required to apply libc_r patch, distributed with
patchset3 archive, and rebuild libc_r first.
* About compiler:
This port is supposed to be built with stock FreeBSD compiler (3.2.[12]
for -CURRENT and 2.95.4 for -STABLE)!
* Following issues are known, but not yet addressed:
. IPv6 networking. IPv6 support is disabled in this patchset.
. Asian languages support. Patches are welcome!
. K6 (586-class) processors support. There're issues with building on
old K6 processors. If you've problems with 586-class machines other than
K6 - please let me know.
. Mozilla plugin is not yet ported.
* Following areas should be used with increased attention:
. Java Virtual Machine Profiling Interface (JVMPI)
. Java Virtual Machine Debugging Interface (JVMDI)
. Host Porting Interface (HPI)
If you have problems with these interfaces please let me know.
* THANKS!
I would thank very much to FreeBSD Foundation, without which support
and sponsorship JDK 1.4.1 port would not happen in such timeframes (less
than 2 months).

2. Enable compiling the HotSpot JVM. This is experimental and there are a
number of caveats with its use that are reported by the port. The flag
to enable this is WITH_HOTSPOT.
3. Try to pick some OSVERSION settings appropriate for the current native
threads implementation.

committed enhancements to libc_r and is only suitable for very recent
versions of FreeBSD. The big benefit is that it removes almost all
the previous grovelling about in the pthreads internals.
The change only comes into effect when WITH_NATIVE_THREADS is set.
A separate Makefile commit will attempt to enforce appropriate
OSVERSION settings for using it.

Currently gethostbyaddr_r collides with the implementation (in libc!) for
FreeBSD 5.x which both uses a different prototype (as per the Linux
version) and is marked temporary and not thread safe. Also, limit the
scope of these internal implementations to this file.
This fixes crashes in networked applications for FreeBSD 5.x.
Some tweaks (making the functions static, naming, BSD ifdefs) by me.
