Tagging proposal for JDK GA releases (original) (raw)

Hi,

I also think this would make things more clear.

I want to propose another point I stumbled about lately.

You all know that if I do hg clone -r jdk-10.0.2-ga I get all the changes, but not the change that tags the version. I often check for the hash of the change tagging the release and clone that. Then I have a repo whose last change is the ga tag.

Unfortunately recently, the tag comes later and is not directly applied to the change it wants to tag, but a few changes later. E.g., tag 12+14 is applied on top of "8202359: [GRAAL] compiler/uncommontrap/TestDeoptOOM.java failed with OutOfMemoryError" while it tags "Merge 8897e41b327c": http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk/jdk/graph/ef114f6afcf1

The following would be more convenient:

Merge | __ | _ Added tag jdk-12+14 for changeset 8897e41b327c_ | |

Which easily can be achieved by doing hg update -r 8897e41b327c (the merge change) before doing hg tag -f.

Best regards, Goetz.

We at Amazon would find this useful. Thanks, Paul On 10/3/18, 7:55 AM, "jdk-updates-dev on behalf of Seán Coffey" <jdk-_ _updates-dev-bounces at openjdk.java.net on behalf of_ _sean.coffey at oracle.com> wrote: I'd like to propose an enhancement to the JDK build-tagging convention to help users more easily identify JDK GA releases via Mercurial tag names. The concept is quite simple and lets people identify snapshots of GA releases in Mercurial history without having to know the build number of the GA release. For example, to obtain JDK 10.0.2 GA sources today, one issues the hg update -r jdk-10.0.2+13 command. With the proposed enhancement, hg update -r jdk-10.0.2-ga could have been used. It's proposed that the new ga tag would be in addition to the regular GA build number tag. It would be added to the relevant repository once the GA milestone has been reached. This new convention would be used for future JDK releases and is tracked via JDK-8180946[1]. If the changes are adopted, I can look at retroactively adding labels for all feature JDK GA releases since JDK 7 to the JDK feature-release main-line repository. To accommodate the new tag format, some simple jcheck edits would be required. Test checks would also be added. Comments? regards, Sean. [1] https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8180946
