[aarch64-port-dev ] jdk8u vs aarch64-port

[Emmanuel Bourg]

Hi,

Java 8u5 has just been released but it seems the changes haven't been
merged in the aarch64-port forest yet. I wondered if you planned to
follow closely the main releases and keep the trees in sync, or if this
will be performed infrequently?

I'm asking because I'm preparing the OpenJDK 8 package for Debian and so
far we bundled the aarch64 port along the main codebase. If the aarch64
port is likely to always lag behind we have to organize the package
accordingly.

Another question, is the aarch64 port likely to be merged in the main
codebase during the JDK8 lifecycle, or will this only happen in JDK9?

Thank you,

Emmanuel Bourg
