<br>Build 24 and the Mercurial Transition Status:<br><br> * We are finishing up our Mercurial dryrun this week.<br> In the next few days, all the repositories at <a href="http://hg.openjdk.java.net/">http://hg.openjdk.java.net/
</a><br> will be re-initialized, making them unrelated to the previous experimental ones.<br> They will contain the official starting sources, which will be the same sources<br> we started the dryrun with, and the same as Build 23, so don't be expecting
<br> to see developer changes, yet.<br><br> * Once we have the official jdk7 repositories, we will creating potential Build 24<br> bits (probably on Mon or Tues), and our release engineering team will have these
<br> bits go through some very basic testing before we officially promote them and<br> declare Build 24 done. The release engineering team will be creating some<br> mercurial tags and pushing them into the master jdk7 repositories to label
<br> Build 24 when the promotion happens, hopefully Tues or Wed next week.<br><br> * Internally, we'll need a few days after that to get ourselves re-setup for<br> developers to start doing pushes into their team repositories for Build 25.
<br> Since all these team areas are available at <a href="http://hg.openjdk.java.net/">http://hg.openjdk.java.net/</a>,<br> everyone should start seeing the jdk7 development 'live', as it happens.<br><br> * It's not clear when the first team integration into the master jdk7 area for
<br> Build 25 will happen. We are still trying to nail down some of our detailed<br> procedures on how team integrations will work, and we'll probably adjust them<br> over time.<br><br>-kto<br><br><br><br>
