 # OpenJDK-patches
 
-These are patches to make OpenJDK run on musl-based systems, and generally just "not glibc amd64". 
-
-Some of these patches will break conformance with glibc on specific architectures, due to the stripping of LFS64 macros.

+These are patches to make OpenJDK run on musl-based systems, removing the assumption that OpenJDK will 
+be being compiled against amd64 and glibc. 
+
+These patches are aimed at making OpenJDK packages for [Adélie Linux](https://www.adelielinux.org/) so that 
+we can partake in the traditional Linux "killer app" - Minecraft. Also, to support scientific computing 
+using Java for performance and portability reasons. 
+
+As such, these patches may break compilation against glibc - particularly glibc on powerpc and x86 architectures 
+(the non-64-bit variants); this is why they're patches and not pull-requests.
