Log message:
Update Oracle JRE/JDK to 8.0u66.

pkgsrc changes:

  - Add support for Darwin (JRE only, Oracle only provide .dmg downloads for
    the JDK).

  - Add better 'distinfo' handling so that all distfiles are included.

Upstream changes in 8.0u66:

 New Features and Changes
 The following are some of the notable new features and changes in this release:

  Support ISO 4217 "Current funds codes" table (A.2)

  This enhancement adds support for ISO 4217 table A.2 fund codes. Previously
  the JDK only supported those currencies listed in table A.1.

  See JDK-8074350.

 Bug Fixes
 This release contains fixes for security vulnerabilities. For more
 information, see Oracle Critical Patch Update Advisory. For a list of bug fixes
 included in this release, see JDK 8u66 Bug Fixes page.

 The following are some of the notable bug fixes included in this release:

  Hotspot should use PICL interface to get cacheline size on SPARC The libpicl
  library is now required on Solaris/SPARC to determine the size of the cache
  lines. In case the library is not present or the PICL service is not available
  the JVM will display a warning and compiler optimizations that utilize the BIS
  (Block Initializing Store) instruction will be turned off.

  See JDK-8056124.

  Preloading libjsig.dylib causes deadlock when signal() is called

  Applications need to preload the libjsig library to enable signal chaining.
  Previously, on OS X, after libjsig.dylib was preloaded, any call from native
  code to signal() caused a deadlock. This has been corrected.

  See JDK-8072147.

  VM crash when class is redefined with Instrumentation.redefineClasses

  The JVM could crash when a class was redefined with
  Instrumentation.redefineClasses(). The crash could either be a segmentation
  fault at SystemDictionary::resolve_or_null, or an internal error with the
  message "tag mismatch with resolution error table". This has now \ 
been fixed .

  See JDK-8076110.

Upstream changes in 8.0u65:

 Bug Fixes
 This release contains fixes for security vulnerabilities. For more information,
 see Oracle Java SE Critical Patch Update Advisory. For a list of bug fixes
 included in this release, see JDK 8u65 Bug Fixes page.

 The following are some of the notable bug fixes included in this release:

  Use Safe Prime Diffie-Hellman Groups

  In the JDK SSL/TLS implementation (SunJSSE provider), safe prime
  Diffie-Hellman groups are used by default. Users can customize Diffie-Hellman
  groups with the security property, "jdk.tls.server.defaultDHEParameters".

  [macosx] JRE AU client installed fails update to NEXTVER on Mac 10.11

  A new installer is introduced in the 8u65 release to update OS X users to the
  latest version. The installer will apply to both scheduled and manual updates,
  and bundles made available on java.com and OTN. Users who experience
  compatibility issues with the new installer can manually download and install
  the ".pkg" installer available on My Oracle Support.

 Known Issues

  [macosx] Sponsor offer screen accessibility (a11y) issues

  Users who operate the keyboard to access user interfaces in the Java installer
  will be unable to access hyperlinks and checkboxes in software add-on offer
  screens. As a workaround to setting preferences related to add-on software in
  the user interface, users can disable such offers either by disabling them in
  the Java Control Panel, or by passing 'SPONSORS=0' via the command line. For
  more information, refer to:
  https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/disable_offers.xml

  See JDK-8061886.

Java 8 Update 60 (8u60)
Release Highlights

    IANA Data 2015e
    JDK 8u60 contains IANA time zone data version 2015e. For more information, \ 
refer to Timezone Data Versions in the JRE Software.
    Bug Fix: dns_lookup_realm should be false by default
    The dns_lookup_realm setting in Kerberos' krb5.conf file is by default \ 
false. See 8080637.
    Bug Fix: Disable RC4 cipher suites
    RC4-based TLS ciphersuites (e.g. TLS_RSA_WITH_RC4_128_SHA) are now \ 
considered compromised and should no longer be used (see RFC 7465). Accordingly, \ 
RC4-based TLS ciphersuites have been deactivated by default in the Oracle JSSE \ 
implementation by adding "RC4" to \ 
"jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms" security property, and by removing them \ 
from the default enabled ciphersuites list. These cipher suites can be \ 
reactivated by removing "RC4" form \ 
"jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms" security property in the java.security \ 
file or by dynamically calling Security.setProperty(), and also readding them to \ 
the enabled ciphersuite list using the \ 
SSLSocket/SSLEngine.setEnabledCipherSuites() methods. You can also use the \ 
-Djava.security.properties command line option to override the \ 
jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms security property. For example:
    java -Djava.security.properties=my.java.security ...
    where my.java.security is a file containing the property without RC4:
    jdk.tls.disabledAlgorithms=SSLv3
    Even with this option set from commandline, the RC4 based ciphersuites need \ 
to be re-added to the enabled ciphersuite list by using the \ 
SSLSocket/SSLEngine.setEnabledCipherSuites() methods. See 8076221.
    Bug Fix: Support keystore type detection for JKS and PKCS12 keystores
    Keystore Compatibility Mode: To aid interoperability, the Java keystore type \ 
JKS now supports keystore compatibility mode by default. This mode enables JKS \ 
keystores to access both JKS and PKCS12 file formats. To disable keystore \ 
compatibility mode set the Security property keystore.type.compat to the string \ 
value false. See 8062552.
    Bug Fix: Deprecate Unsafe monitor methods in JDK 8u release
    The methods monitorEnter, monitorExit and tryMonitorEnter on sun.misc.Unsafe \ 
are marked as deprecated in JDK 8u60 and will be removed in a future release. \ 
These methods are not used within the JDK itself and are very rarely used \ 
outside of the JDK. See 8069302.
    Bug Fix: Extract JFR recording from the core file using SA
    DumpJFR is a Serviceability Agent based tool that can be used to extract \ 
Java Flight Recorder(JFR) data from the core files and live Hotspot processes. \ 
DumpJFR can be used in one of the following methods:
        Attach DumpJFR to a live process:

        java -cp $JAVA_HOME/lib/sa-jdi.jar sun.jvm.hotspot.tools.DumpJFR <pid>

        Attach DumpJFR to a core file:

        java -cp $JAVA_HOME/lib/sa-jdi.jar sun.jvm.hotspot.tools.DumpJFR \ 
<java> <core>

    DumpJFR tool dumps the JFR data to a file called recording.jfr in the \ 
current working folder. See 8065301 (not public).
    Bug Fix: Local variables named 'enum' lead to spurious compiler crashes
    The javac parser is incorrectly parsing local variables with name 'enum'; \ 
this results in spurious failures when a program containing such local variables \ 
is compiled with a 'source' flag corresponding to a release in which the enum \ 
construct is not available (such as '-source 1.4'). See 8069181.

Java Development Kit for ARM Release 8u60

This release includes Java Development Kit for ARM Release 8u60 (JDK 8u60 for \ 
ARM). For ARM device support information, see JDK for ARM Downloads page. For \ 
system requirements, installation instructions and troubleshooting tips, see \ 
Installation Instructions page.

Limitation: Native Memory Tracking support is limited in JDK for ARM. The java \ 
command line option XX:NativeMemoryTracking=detail is not supported for ARM \ 
targets (an error message is displayed to user). Instead, use the following \ 
option:
XX:NativeMemoryTracking=summary
Documentation Updates due to Nashorn Enhancements
JDK 8u60 includes new enhancements to Nashorn. As a result the following \ 
documentation changes should be read in conjunction with the current Nashorn \ 
documentation:

    Addition: In the previous section, we mentioned that every JavaScript object \ 
when exposed to Java APIs implements the java.util.Map interface. This is true \ 
even for JavaScript arrays. However, this behavior is often not desired or \ 
expected when the Java code expects JSON-parsed objects. Java libraries that \ 
manipulate JSON-parsed objects usually expect arrays to expose the \ 
java.util.List interface instead. If you need to expose your JavaScript objects \ 
so that arrays are exposed as lists and not maps, you can use the \ 
Java.asJSONCompatible(obj) function, where obj is the root of your JSON object \ 
tree.
    Correction: The caution mentioned at the end of Mapping Data Types section, \ 
is no longer applicable. Nashorn ensures that internal JavaScript strings are \ 
converted to java.lang.String when exposed externally.
    Correction: The statement in the section Mapping Data Types, that mentions \ 
"For example, arrays must be explicitly converted,..." is not correct. \ 
Arrays are automatically converted to Java array types, such as java.util.List, \ 
java.util.Collection, java.util.Queue and java.util.Deque and so on.

Changes in Deployment Rule Set v1.2
JDK 8u60 implements Deployment Rule Set (DRS) 1.2, which includes the following \ 
changes:

    Add "checksum" element as sub element of "id" which can \ 
allow unsigned jars to be identified by the SHA-256 checksum of the uncompressed \ 
form of a jar:
        The "checksum" element will match only unsigned jars, and the \ 
given hash will be compared only against the uncompressed form of the jar.
        The "checksum" element (similar to "certificate" \ 
element) has two arguments "hash" and "algorithm", however, \ 
unlike "certificate" element, the only supported value for \ 
"algorithm" is "SHA-256". Any other value provided will be \ 
ignored.
    Allow "message" element to apply to all rule types, where \ 
previously it only applied to a block rule:
        In a run rule, a message sub element will cause a message dialog to be \ 
displayed where without a run rule, the default behavior would be to show \ 
certificate or unsigned dialog. The message will be displayed in the message \ 
dialog.
        In a default rule, the message will only be displayed if the default \ 
action is to block. In such a case the message will be included in the block \ 
dialog.
    Echo "customer" blocks in the Java Console, trace files, and Java \ 
Usage Tracker records.
        Previous to DRS 1.2, "customer" elements could be included \ 
(with any sub-elements) in the ruleset.xml file. This element and all its sub \ 
elements are ignored. In DRS 1.2, the elements are still functionally ignored. \ 
However:
            When parsing the ruleset.xml file, all "customer" blocks \ 
will be echoed to the Java Console and deployment trace file (if Console and \ 
Tracing are enabled).
            When using a rule, all "customer" records included within \ 
that rule will be added to the Java Usage Tracker (JUT) record (if JUT is \ 
enabled).

As a result of the above changes, the DTD for DRS 1.2 is as follows:

<!ELEMENT ruleset (rule*)>
<!ATTRIBUTE ruleset href CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ATTRIBUTE ruleset version CDATA #REQUIRED>

<!ELEMENT rule (id, action)>

<!ELEMENT id (certificate?) (checksum?) >
<!ATTRIBUTE id title CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ATTRIBUTE id location CDATA #IMPLIED>

<!ELEMENT certificate EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST certificate algorithm CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST certificate hash CDATA #REQUIRED>

<!ELEMENT checksum EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST checksum algorithm CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ATTLIST checksum hash CDATA #REQUIRED>

<!ELEMENT action (message?)>
<!ATTRIBUTE permission (run | block | default) #REQUIRED>
<!ATTRIBUTE version CDATA #IMPLIED>
<!ATTRIBUTE force (true|false) "false">

<!ELEMENT message (#PCDATA)>
<!ATTLIST message locale CDATA #IMPLIED>

Java Expiration Date

The expiration date for 8u60 is October 20, 2015. Java expires whenever a new \ 
release with security vulnerability fixes becomes available. For systems unable \ 
to reach the Oracle Servers, a secondary mechanism expires this JRE (version \ 
8u60) on November 20, 2015. After either condition is met (new release becoming \ 
available or expiration date reached), Java will provide additional warnings and \ 
reminders to users to update to the newer version.
Bug Fixes

TrustCenter GmbH, C=DE
    See JDK-8072958 (not public).
    Bug Fix: Deprecate RC4 in SunJSSE provider
    RC4 is now considered as a weak cipher. Servers should not select RC4 unless \ 
there is no other stronger candidate in the client requested cipher suites. A \ 
new security property, jdk.tls.legacyAlgorithms, is added to define the legacy \ 
algorithms in Oracle JSSE implementation. RC4 related algorithms are added to \ 
the legacy algorithms list. See JDK-8074006 (not public).
    Bug Fix: Prohibit RC4 cipher suites
    RC4 is now considered as a compromised cipher. RC4 cipher suites have been \ 
removed from both client and server default enabled cipher suite list in Oracle \ 
JSSE implementation. These cipher suites can still be enabled by \ 
SSLEngine.setEnabledCipherSuites() and SSLSocket.setEnabledCipherSuites() \ 
methods. See JDK-8077109 (not public).
    Bug Fix: Improved certification checking
    With this fix, JSSE endpoint identification does not perform reverse name \ 
lookup for IP addresses by default in JDK. If an application does need to \ 
perform reverse name lookup for raw IP addresses in SSL/TLS connections, and \ 
encounter endpoint identification compatibility issue, System property \ 
"jdk.tls.trustNameService" can be used to switch on reverse name \ 
lookup. Note that if the name service is not trustworthy, enabling reverse name \ 
lookup may be susceptible to MITM attacks. See JDK-8067695 (not public).

Java Expiration Date

The expiration date for 8u51 is October 20, 2015. Java expires whenever a new \ 
release with security vulnerability fixes becomes available. For systems unable \ 
to reach the Oracle Servers, a secondary mechanism expires this JRE (version \ 
8u51) on November 20, 2015. After either condition is met (new release becoming \
