Build 24 and the Mercurial Transition Status:
* We are finishing up our Mercurial dryrun this week.
In the next few days, all the repositories at http://hg.openjdk.java.net/
will be re-initialized, making them unrelated to the previous experimental
ones.
They will contain the official starting sources, which will be the same
sources
we started the dryrun with, and the same as Build 23, so don't be expecting
to see developer changes, yet.
* Once we have the official jdk7 repositories, we will creating potential
Build 24
bits (probably on Mon or Tues), and our release engineering team will have
these
bits go through some very basic testing before we officially promote them
and
declare Build 24 done. The release engineering team will be creating some
mercurial tags and pushing them into the master jdk7 repositories to label
Build 24 when the promotion happens, hopefully Tues or Wed next week.
* Internally, we'll need a few days after that to get ourselves re-setup for
developers to start doing pushes into their team repositories for Build 25.
Since all these team areas are available at http://hg.openjdk.java.net/,
everyone should start seeing the jdk7 development 'live', as it happens.
* It's not clear when the first team integration into the master jdk7 area for
Build 25 will happen. We are still trying to nail down some of our detailed
procedures on how team integrations will work, and we'll probably adjust
them
over time.
