Right. I was answering the general question.
For the specific question, I will defer to Mark Howe, who is working on
the packager.

I'm guessing Danno would like to know how long he should expect to
wait for the patches he kindly contributed and linked to in that email
to get included. Seems like a fair and reasonable question and one I'd
also like to know the answer to.
Perhaps a linked question that I'd also like to know: is anyone
actually allocated to any work on the packager at the moment, and if
not when are they next going to be?

Hi Danno,
There are two parts to the answer:
1) How long does it take for a proposed fix (patch) to be reviewed
and accepted?
2) Once your patch is accepted and the changeset is pushed to the
repo, how long before it shows up in an EA build?
#1 depends on what area it is, what is the scale of the proposed
change: is it a simple bug fix, or a new feature with API or
documentation implications, are there compatibility concerns, how
risky is it, etc.
#2 is typically between 0.5 and 1.5 weeks depending when it is pushed.
As a reminder (Richard may have recently posted something about
this, so my apologies if this is a duplicate reminder), anyone
submitting a patch must first sign the Oracle Contributor
Agreement (OCA) before we can consider taking it.

The first one is to allow for a comma separated list of enumerated
packagers, so it's not one or all.
The second one is more relevant, it moves the discovery of the
bundlers
from being hard coded in the class file to loaded off of the
META-INF/services directory. This allows a bunlder to be added at
"runtime" when the build is being done. For example, a
bundler that would
bundle RoboVM or APK files provided at runtime rather than
having to
package it's reference into the source code itself.
How long is it taking for community patches to get into a
build these days?
