M.Negovanovic. While this version is actually a ``development'' version,
it has been reported to be much more usable than the stable 1.0.7 version.
Changes to 1.0.7 are far too numerous to list here, see http://www.kaffe.org
and/or the ChangeLog in the tarball.
* Build the kaffe package with PREFIX=${LOCALBASE}/java/kaffe and adjust
the PLIST accordingly. This is to make the Java VM packages consistently
return JAVA_HOME from `pkg_info -qp <jvm-pkg>'.
* License file was wrongly being installed as ${PREFIX}/share.
* Separate out last half of DESCR into a more appropriate MESSAGE file.
subdirectories under ${PREFIX}/java/ -- Change I of many.
Thus, for consistency, also install kaffe into ${PREFIX}/java/kaffe
rather than ${PREFIX}/java
While we're at it, update kaffe to version 1.0.7.
Changes since 1.0.6:
- New version of KJC
- New encoding converters based on iconv().
- Lots of bug fixes
Furthermore, the website says that 1.0.7 has added support for
Darwin, ia64 GNU/Linux, s390 GNU/Linux, PA-RISC GNU/Linux, Alpha for
Compaq Tru64 GNU/Linux and support of PowerPC without libffi.
People with access to any of these platforms are encouraged to test
this version, so we can possibly adjust ONLY_FOR_PLATFORMS etc.
