+OpenJDK 8 is an open source implementation of version 8 of the
+Java Development Kit, Standard Edition. It includes tools for developing,
+testing, and running programs written in Java.
+
+Before installing this package please consider any other jdk's/jre's that you
+have already installed as they may cause conflicts with the PATH, JAVA_HOME
+and MANPATH variables (this includes the 'openjdk' dependency package -- you
+may wish to remove it after you're done.)
+
+After installing the package you will need to logout/reboot your machine
+as it will add new files to the /etc/profile.d folder.
+
+This script may take a couple of hours to complete and will require
+about 11 GB of disk space for its temporary directory. It defaults to
+"/tmp/SBo" and you may redefine it like this:
+
+TMP=/your/temporary/dir ./openjdk8.SlackBuild
+
+The 'cacerts' binary is a keystore containing CA certificates which
+are used by Java applications. It is taken from the CentOS package
+'ca-certificates-2015.2.4-65.0.1.el6_6.noarch.rpm'.
