New Branches Available for Testing

[Andrew John Hughes]

Two new branches are now available for testing:

1.  IcedTea6 1.7 has been forked from trunk:
http://icedtea.classpath.org/hg/release/icedtea6-1.7
2.  IcedTea6-hg now builds against the JDK6 Mercurial forest (imminent
b18): http://icedtea.classpath.org/people/andrew/icedtea6-hg

For testing the hg branch, the recommended method is to checkout
OpenJDK6 (hg fclone http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6) and then
point the build to the checkout (./configure
--with-openjdk-src-dir=<checkout dir>).  You can use --enable-hg
instead but this is slow and not recommended for multiple successive
builds.

I think we should aim for a release of 1.7 in early January.  *Please
post ALL patches for the 1.7 tree to the list for approval prior to
committing.*
