Greetings,
This is a request to backport a JDK 8 fix into JDK 7u6:
7168520 1/3 No jdk8 TL Nightly linux builds due to broken link in
b39-2012-05-13_231
http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=7168520
The fix has recently been pushed to JDK 8, as:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk8/tl/jdk/rev/ce165aa48dcb
and will be included in the JDK8-B42 PIT snapshot. I've requested
a respin of the JDK8-B40 PIT snapshot, but I haven't gotten
confirmation yet.
This fix has been reviewed on [email protected]:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/build-dev/2012-May/006158.html
and [email protected]:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/hotspot-runtime-dev/2012-May/003708.html
and [email protected]:
http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/serviceability-dev/2012-May/006065.html
The three review threads are currently identical.
The JDK7u6 and JDK8 jdk repo patch files are identical.
Dan
