if the fix involves non test code changes, then the best option now is
to get that
into jdk8/langtools so it gets nightly testing and gets pushed to the
master next week.
If the fix only involves test code changes, then it is a low risk push
to the master
but not sure it will make it to this week promotion anyways

FYI,
those changes seem to trigger a spurious failure when running
langtools regression tests on a Windows machine [1]. We have been
working to isolate the problem and put together a fix which I am
testing as we speak. If the experiment is successful we can decide
what's the best course of action (i.e. direct push to master) in
order to minimize the number of teams that will be affected by this
issue.
Quick update - the experimental nightly build I ran over the
lambda-repository with the fix for 8013638 gave good results on
Windows machine; it appears the issue is correctly addressed by the
fix. Please advice as to what I should do next to have this fix into
master.
Thanks

Later today I plan to push the hs25-b41 snapshot into jdk8 master

along with the fix for 8016281
<http://bugs.sun.com/view_bug.do?bug_id=8016281>. This push includes
lambda-related changes that will
create lambda-related incompatibilities with class files compiled
with earlier
JDK 8 versions. See [2]
<http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/lambda-dev/2013-July/010449.html>
for more details.
Once the changes have been integrated, the hotspot, langtools and jdk
repos must match - i.e., either all must have these changes or not
have any of them.
A JDK with mismatched repos may build, but some lambda-related
functionality
might not work properly (again, see [2]
<http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/lambda-dev/2013-July/010449.html>
for details of the symptoms).
After we integrate, If you do pull, make sure to pull all: hotspot,
langtools and jdk,
and to build all
