These are the results of Google Summer of Code (tm) project ~Make OpenJDK
LSB-compliant~.

The main working dir is openjdk7.  Changes from it are backported to other
branches.  To get the directory, use git to get the repo
	http://coldattic.info/openjdk7.git

Follow generic guidelines to build openjdk7 (this includes tuning environment
and downloading binary plugs from Sun's site), but when you'll be typing the
final make, add a variable:
	make OPENJDK_LSB_VERSION=40

To build OpenJDK you need development version of LSBCC; you can get it from LF
bazaar.

There are some notes about interfaces used and PE's stuff of sorts (in
investigation/ folder), showing how I investigated necessity of some
interfaces in openjdk.

Patches that can go to upstream are marked with JJJ prefix in git log.

For info on what interfaces, types and header I had to include to build
openjdk7, please, refer to  openjdk7-lsb-overrides/lsb_config.h and
openjdk7-lsb-overrides/include/  directory.  The notation is the following:
__LSB_PROVIDES_something is defined iff the application can find interface
without help of additional overrides.

More fine list may be found in http://bugs.linuxbase.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2674.


For information on how to backport changes, clone repository 
	http://coldattic.info/lsbopenjdkmerge.git
and read instructions there.

It will ask you to also clone 
	http://coldattic.info/icedtea6.git


To build .deb packages with icedtea, unpack sources from debian/ directory
here on ftp (orig.tar.gz) and apply diff (.diff.gz).  Then do 
	dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
or something else if you know about debian packaging more than me.

To see what I changes in makefiles that create packages, download ubuntu
debian sources for their openjdk-6 package (it should include icedtea, as noticed
in the description of the proper package) with use of apt-get source repositories.
It will help you with the dependencies.  

Hope that helps.
