On OpenBSD 4.3, to build Java to run, say, Jondos anonymizer, latest port seems jre-1.4.2p15, .... it requires 2004? (out)dated distfiles as *** j2sdk-1_4_2-src-scsl.zip *** j2sdk-1_4_2-bin-scsl.zip ..
Is this sane when everybody knows how buggy and unsafe is Java (see Secunia.com ) ????? Can I go ahead for a top secure Java or may I have to forget Java on OpenBSD (by the moment)??????? Lots of years playing with OpenBSD, and sometimes I still feel as the latest idiot on earth when trying to install Java: Obsolete, No port, no package, distfiles nearly impossible to find at sun.com sites, (try to search j2sdk-1_4_2-src-scsl.zip at the searchbox from sun.com, no results), bsd-jdk14-patches-8.tar.gz from http://www.eyesbeyond.com requires to leave your fingerprints because it uses javascript, really, really an exasperating experience. Why not a simple script to install, opening a simple lynx browser w¡hen required (license notifications and the like), as everyone (0S) else does (that fails also in the non redistributable trick), is this so difficult? And after all that shit, I am ending with an obsolete and buggy unsafe java, that I want to run ultrasecure software! Sorry guys, some days I hate OpenBSD. Cab anyone give me some consolation words? (or any tip to compile latest java) _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
