<damo22>solid_black: hi

<damo22>what are you working on these days?

<solid_black>in the recent few days, adding inset support to GTK :D

<damo22>im struggling with porting icedtea / openjdk

<solid_black>ah, I remember seeing something from you related to OpenJDK

<solid_black>what's up with it?

<damo22>ive done it so many times now, but i need to redo it AGAIN

<damo22>because i got stuck near the end

<damo22>i need to rebase everything onto older jdk6

<damo22>so icedtea 2.6 can work

<damo22>once i get a full jdk6 then jdk7 is easy

<damo22>but the upstream maintainer wants me to create new files just for hurd port, as the linux port is standalone

<damo22>every OS has its own copy of port-specific files even though they are similar

<solid_black>oh, IcedTea was actually made by RedHat?

<damo22>uh, probably

<damo22>icedtea is a set of patches so you can compile openjdk with entirely free software

<damo22>but they rebranded it i believe

<damo22>s/openjdk/oracles jdk

<damo22>i dont really know, i think icedtea became openjdk

<damo22>it was very difficult to bootstrap "jdk6" from gnu java c

<damo22>thats what icedtea 2.6 solves

<damo22>but i need to have a compatible jdk6 source tree

<damo22>otherwise the ton of patches wont apply

<damo22>hmm i may have even misunderstood this, it appears icedtea 2.6 patches a jdk7 tree

<damo22>getting close to jdk7

<damo22>solid_black: what do i lookup in man pages for _XOPEN* ?

<damo22>trying to figure out what enables xopen_lim.h

<damo22>_GNU_SOURCE works

<damo22>solid_black: do we have epoll?

<damo22>i might have to stub it out of java

<damo22>hmm what do i do with things that require sys/inotify.h
