Hi Magnus:
Deploy repo in jdk8 is kept in sync with jdk7u, and we have files to
make sure deploy can be built with both new and old build system.
Please make sure me and Dave are cc'ed on any changes in deploy repo.
Thanks.

The new build system ("build-infra") has been the default way of
building the JDK for almost a year. Keeping the old build system in
sync with the new requires time and effort, and is getting harder all
the time.
So the time has come to finally kill of the old build system for those
components where the new build system exists (i.e. langtools, jdk,
corba, jaxp and jaxws -- but not hotspot).
If you have not switched over to using the new build system, this is
the time!
If you are using build functionality in the old build system that is
not replicated in the new build system, please let us know.
Apart from building the product, the old build system (the "make"
directories in the top-level repo or any sub repo) contains a number
of other utilities, scripts and make targets to produce results other
than the product itself. These will not be removed (unless the
functionality is replaced in the new build system), but we would still
like to hear from you what are actively being used, and what are just
remnants that can be removed.
Please direct your replies to the build-dev@openjdk.java.net list.
