Alan, Kumar Martin, thanks for the comments, while I'm continuing
running more tests:-) here are the
reply to your comments/questions.
(1) The ZLIB_VERSION has been moved into common/Defs.gmk.
(2) The copyright you quoted in the original copyright of zlib1.1.3 (it
was there is jdk6 and earlier before we opensourced the jdk7).
(3) Yes, I have run the regression tests in tools/pack200 and those in
launcher, as well as other jar, zip related.
(4) I just jprt-ed a full forest/control build including everything, it
finished without any problem
(5) So far the "large zip support" still holds on all platforms I tested
on (Solaris sparc 32-bit/x86 32-bit, Linux x64 and Windows32-bit.
(6)I would still prefer to get the source code from zlib.org. I took a
quick scan at the ubuntu diff, don't see the value of replacing the one
we have.
(7) The java port change log has been moved to
