Hi Mark,

thanks a lot for pushing this forward!

If you push a branch whose name starts with "JDK-" into this repo then it will automatically be built and tested on Oracle's internal build system, and a summary of the results will be e-mailed back to you. This typically takes a couple of hours. If one or more tests fail then you can contact an Oracle engineer to get more information about the failures.

The default branch of the submit repo is automatically kept in sync with the main-line repo, jdk/jdk. This is (obviously) not the complete open build-and-test system that we'd all like to see in the long run, but until we have such a system it will hopefully help us be a bit more productive. More information: https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/Build/Submit+Repo (Unlike the first prototype, which some of you helped to test last summer, this version does not automatically push your change into some other repo if all the tests pass, and there are no plans to implement that feature due to recent build-system changes.)

The FAQ says:

Q: If all the tests pass, will my change be automatically be pushed to the main-line JDK repo? A: No. You'll need to do that yourself.

So what does that mean. If I have a hotspot change and all the tests pass, am I now allowed to push that myself ?

If the answer is "yes", there's still the problem that hotspot changes should go into jdk/hs but the submit repo mirrors jdk/jdk so what I've tested in the submit repo might be slightly different from what I will actually push.

If the answer is "no", than when will we finally get there ?

The other question applies for changes which touch any of the configure files and require the re-generation of generated-configure.sh. If such a change passes all tests in the submit repo, can I push it into the jdk/jdk myself or do I still need a sponsor?

Thank you and best regards, Volker
