Vgit on OpenVMS AXP 8.4-2L1

Hi,

I have problems running vgit v1.x on OpenVMS AXP 8.4-2L1. version 0.9x works. The problem seems to be the CRTL which is too old on my system. (For IA64 I found the patch files with the OpenJDK distribution)

Question : are the nescessary patches available for hobyist systems?

regards
Jouk

Hi Jouk,

Only some security patches are currently available for community use. We will discuss adding CRTL updates to the commmunity program, at least for Alpha, as no major updates are currently planned for OpenVMS for Alpha.

Kind regards,

Hi Jouk,

We have discussed making the CRTL-related ecokits for V8.4-2L1 available for community use, and everything required to install the latest version of CRTL on 2L1 was uploaded to the server:

So please check if VGIT works for you with these patches installed.
