    initial v1  
    44The new build system is more friendly and incredibly faster. But you have to build jtreg for tests, and that pulls in a lot of other dependencies (work in progress now).

    6 I plan to build a JDK 8 Java machine and to use it to build jtreg and bootstrap a new build
     6The giflib patch is still needed, but since the build system has changed, it has to be changed too.
     7
     8A valid cacerts file is needed too (switch --with-cacerts= for configure). I do not want to dig too deeply into the new build system to see how to have it generated automatically. Rather, I think it'd be better to install the mkcacerts script before the build instead of after, use it to generate a cacerts file, and pass that file to configure.
