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.

Thank you very much for your hard work (and the team's!) on making the
transition happen. I'm looking forward to the commit, patch & review flood!
