Hi Jens,

My approach has been mainly to compare the diff between the bsd-port
branch and the master branch (or the source repo from the openjdk org.)
Looking at files changed, rather than commit history gives a better
overview, I think.

I've combined that with the commit history of specific files to find the
rationale for why things are different, when it was unclear.

Probably the best (minimal) diff for now is my work on the jdk24u port,
that's still in my private fork: https://github.com/snake66/jdk24u

Yes, there are. The majority should be by battleblow, glewis or bsdkurt.
But as mentioned, I find it better to start with the diff rather than
the commit history for an overview.
