Request for creation of OSX integration repo forest (original) (raw)

Thanks, Dalibor.

The forest is here

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u-osx/

and the corresponding gates here

http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk7u/jdk7u-osx-gate/

The jdk7u-osx forest is a clone of jdk7u/jdk7u-dev and has the same jcheck constraints as jdk7u-dev (i.e., duplicate bugids are allowed). The push notification alias is

macosx-port-dev at openjdk.java.net

When component teams deem it advisable, they'll ask permission to push to jdk7u-dev via the existing process.

Hotspot pushes to jdk7u-osx will likely happen on the same schedule as those to jdk7u-dev. The initial port is wending its way through the integration process from hsx/hotspot-rt through hsx/hotspot-main to hsx/hsx23, and will go from there to jdk7u-osx/hotspot.

At JavaOne, Oracle announced the developer preview of the JDK7 Mac OSX port. Apple is open-sourcing the port and Oracle plans to deliver it in a future JDK7 update release. Since the initial port will use the JDK7 code base, I'd like to propose the creation of a project repo forest for the port as a sub-project of the JDK7 update project. Once a stable port exists in the OSX project repo forest, we can request permission to push it to jdk7u. Thanks for this proposal, Paul.

I posted a link to the Oracle JDK 7 Update release roadmap published at JavaOne and the corresponding press releases which give some more background information on the plans wrt to the Mac OS X port to provide some more background for this request. [1] I'd like to open up this proposal for discussion until Monday. Thanks to everyone who participated in the discussion. With my JDK 7 Updates Project Lead hat on, I think this is a good proposal, so we will go ahead and create a separate jdk7u-osx forest for the jdk7u integration of the Mac OS X port based off the mainline jdk7u master, with commit e-mails heading to the macosx-port-dev list in order to keep the Mac porters up to date on the progress of jdk7u(4) integration work. cheers, dalibor topic cheers, dalibor topic [1] http://mail.openjdk.java.net/pipermail/jdk7u-dev/2011-October/000534.html
