This is the first in a series of "what to expect" notes. I'm trying to
keep each such note manageable and focused, and after I send six-eight of
them, I'll send a summary with links to the archived notes, so that
there's a one-stop shop.
Anyway, here's the first one:

Subject: Heads up: Mercurial: What to expect: snv_97 rules of engagement
Build snv_97 is an open build for all consolidations. As such, ON content
will NOT be restricted. Any carefully tested, appropriately reviewed,
approved fix will be allowed.
That said, there will some differences for this build:
- The onnv_97 gate will *NOT* open immediately after onnv_96 closes.
Instead, there will be a delay of 12-24 hours while we change
filesystems and mountpoints and such.
- After 23:00 PDT on Monday, August 4, you should never again have reason
to login to the onnv gate machine. Without an explicit invitation from
the gatekeepers, anything you do there is suspect, and may be
terminated. So ask first. Exception: xVM folks will continue with
their current practices.
- Beginning on Tuesday, August 5, we will begin taking integrations to
the new, Mercurial gate. The first few such integrations will be by
invitation of the gatekeepers, and will be coordinated to ensure that
everything on the gate and build machines is working as expected. So if
you see notification e-mail, it does NOT mean that the gate is open, or
that it's OK for you to integrate. We'll announce it when we're ready.
- The initial onnv_96 snapshot gate will be a Teamware workspace. If we
need to respin the build, it will be done in a Mercurial repository. In
other words, ALL integrations after 23:00 PDT Monday, August 4 must be
done via Mercurial.
- If you have an approved RTI based on a Teamware workspace, and you do
not integrate before onnv_96 closes, you are responsible for converting
your workspace. If you want your CRT advocate to review that
conversion, you must explicitly resubmit your RTI.
