Aha; I assumed you used Debian because you have posted in debian-java before, over the course of several months IIRC. I imagine that most any improvements in handling Java anywhere would have to be an improvement everywhere. (If your changes get worked into the FHS, I think our BSD friends will see some benefit too -- I think I heard that at least FreeBSD looks at FHS from time to time. No one quote me on this. :) > I notice you didn't cc [EMAIL PROTECTED] By no intention of my own. I tend to hit L in mutt to list reply when I know the email came from a list I follow -- I forget that sometimes the CCs are added intentionally. :) Sorry to the good people working on gcj. [The gist of my previous email was similar to Per's paragraph about CLASSPATH -- I am against it: debian policy forbids it, not standard from compiler/runtime to compiler/runtime, no easy place to set a global CLASSPATH on all systems (/etc/<shell_startup_file> is out due to debian policy), and users may have specialized needs that we shouldn't muck with.] Cheers! :) -- Earthlink: The #1 provider of unsolicited bulk email to the Internet.
