Alejandro,
8022188 addresses a fix to Zero port necessary since 8016131 and 8016697
integrations to hs25.
Since 8016697 isn't in hs24, it might be better have the new bug ID
follow this issue [1]. I've assigned that to Andrew and he already has a
changeset in icedtea [2].
I understand that there's a new hsx forest naming convention for hsx
fixes targeting jdk7u [3]. Please ping the [email protected]
mailing list when this new forest structure is in place.
regards,
Sean.

8024648: 8016131 breaks Zero port
That was part of my point. There's some mention of 7u40 appearing
in mid-September
and then it suddenly appears yesterday evening, with no further
warning. I was still
testing builds of it on various platforms and would have liked to
have include the Zero
fix in u40.
This issue should have been raised back in early August when 8022188
was reported. Has anyone been testing Zero builds for 7u codebase?
It's a team effort. 7u40 has been ramping down since mid June [1]
I'm not sure there's much point putting it in u60 as no doubt
they'll be a further HotSpot pull
which will pick up 8022188 [0] already mentioned by Omair. I didn't
find that changeset
until I'd already written the same fix (identical in fact) for u40
and Omair's couldn't be
backported anyway as it carries other changes (a habit I,
incidentally, prefer to avoid).
I'm happy to push my version though, if wanted.
However, my main concern is that u40 won't built Zero. Are there
going to be no further updates to it,
not even for security fixes?
Let's get the fix into the 7u forest (via hsx). CPU changesets get
pushed to the jdk7u forest when the CPU releases.
I will bring this to the 7u forest in the next couple of days
via the new hsx repo for 7u (hsx/jdk7u/hotspot, which will be created
soon).
Just to double check, we basically need to backport this changeset:
http://hg.openjdk.java.net/hsx/hotspot-rt/hotspot/rev/c54a3122f9c8
correct?
