    1 NOTES:
    2 =====
    3 
    4 * I have switched from generating the java cacerts to depending on p11-kit and
    5   make-ca. If you run into build failure at configure due to missing the java
    6   cacerts file, the likely issue is that `make-ca` needs to be run before
    7   building openjdk8. It will be done automatically when installing p11-kit, if:
    8     1) you have 'runscripts yes' in your prt-get.conf, or
    9     2) supply prt-get with '--install-scripts' commandline argument.
   10 
   11 * These are the links to the unversioned files:
   12 
   13 http://icedtea.wildebeest.org/download/drops/icedtea8/$icedtea_version/{corba,hotspot,jaxp,jaxws,langtools,nashorn,openjdk}.tar.xz
   14 
   15   The mirrorred and versioned files are merely renamed to prevent signature mismatches and files
   16   not being downloaded due to older, unversioned files stopping the correct file from being retrieved.
   17 
   18 * The manual pages are outside of the normal MANPATH. At this point in time,
   19   I see no easy way to move them without conflicting with the opt/jdk port.
   20 
   21 * These packages exist in my j_v repo (might be nice to have as dependencies):
   22 
   23   pcsc-lite, lksctp-tools
   24 
   25   (I need to determine if there is any actual benefit from depending on them).
   26 
   27 
   28 TODO:
   29 ====
   30 
   31 * Concider generic java packages that allow to have different java env installed
   32   and be able to switch between them via script:
   33 
   34   'java-choose openjdk8'
   35 
   36   or
   37 
   38   'java-choose jdk'
   39 
   40 * Do testing beyond just running java programs like eclipse and minecraft.
   41   To this end, I now have a jtreg port.
