With the upgrade of the hg.openjdk.java.net servers very old mercurial clients
can no longer be used (0.9.5) and there have been persistent reports of more
frequent connection failures. The older your mercurial client the more likely
the failures are.
jdk: hg clone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk9/dev/jdk jdk
jdk: requesting all changes
jdk: adding changesets
jdk: adding manifests
jdk: transaction abort!
jdk: rollback completed
jdk: abort: stream ended unexpectedly (got 8372 bytes,
expected 10932)
I would like to add a version check to get_source.sh which will require
mercurial 1.5 or later and warn for clients older than 1.9.
Seem reasonable?
Mike
