send you a private email if you don't mind verifying have the right

I am very interested in this. I did build the blackdown java 1.1.4 i think,
some many years ago. At that time the patches were more available. I
understand there are good reasons for the current policy and have no dispute
with that.


But now i would like (need) to have an up to date sparc version, as the java
sdk is used for porting openoffice.org (also from sun). As sun do not
provide a sparc linux port of java, then I need a sun java sparc port from
blackdown to build the sparc port of sun openoffice.org on sun hardware,
(yes!)


I am willing and eager to help, so please inform the list (or if necessary
privately) when you have a final answer on how the diffs may be obtained.

I supprt the blackdown team and respect their rights to decide how they
handle this, but it would just be useful to know if it is possible and how
one may help.

many thanks
jim
