Producing community binaries for OpenJDK

Fri Mar 10 16:19:47 UTC 2017

Hi all,

Apologies for coming late to the thread.  Totally happy with the
AdoptOpenJDK github being used as a starting point.  Please not e we
also have an AdoptOpenJDK org at bitbucket if people just wanted to
use hg (although it sounds like not)

I think we call foo openjdk or adoptopendjk - I'm not too fussed
although I think openjdk clearly states what it is, so:

openjdk-jdk8u       = openjdk source mirror
openjdk-build        = build scripts
openjdk-nightly     = location of nightly builds
openjdk-releases  = location for releases
openjdk-website   = website source/host

As it's the AdoptOpenJDK org it should be more than clear enough that
this is a community enthusiasts effort but not an official
openjdk.java.net effort (which may or may not come later).

I can add various folks to the GitHub org and give them permissions to
add repos.

Please email me your (or their) github ids and lets get going.

Cheers,
Martijn
