Hi,
in order to make our life a bit simpler, I'd like to propose that changes destined for 7u60, once we create the stabilization forest, go into jdk7u-dev first, and then get pulled over into jdk7u60(-dev).
In other words, all approved changes would go straight to jdk7u-dev, and just the ones approved for 7u60 with the corresponding label would then be picked out and regularly (but typically not instantly) integrated into the 7u60 stabilization forest by one of the Maintainers.
The benefit of this approach is that we won't run into the post-stabilization-forest-creation phenomenon of developers wondering which particular forest to push their particular change to, and sometimes ending up sending me e-mails to figure out if they had made some critical error in the process and pushed to the wrong place. ;)
In addition, this approach simplifies synchronization between the stabilization forest and the jdk7u-dev forest, as there would be only one direction in which the changes would flow - into jdk7u-dev and from there to the stabilization forest.
In terms of process documents, that means changing the last line of http://openjdk.java.net/projects/jdk7u/phase2/phase2-process.html from
"Fixes to the regular 7u-dev forest follow the normal approval template process."
to
"Fixes approved for the stabilization forest are pushed to the jdk7u-dev forest by a Committer. They are integrated into the stabilization forest by a Maintainer. Fixes not destined for the stabilization forest follow the normal approval template process and upon approval, are pushed into the jdk7u-dev forest."
cheers, dalibor topic
