The challenge with depending on openjdk trees is that I haven't figured
out what the best way is to integrate openjdk forest updates. I assume
we should just treat them as independent trees. Which brings us to the
second challenge of filtering out update events for different trees.
Currently we treat each repository directory name as separate branch and
then filter on that. If we monitor/pull from different servers it might
get a bit more tricky.

It can be done for the various icedtea6 release branches, since they
build against a fixed openjdk drop, but it would be nice to have fresh
new slaves for them to not over commit the current build slaves. Do you
have a spare machine to run release branch checks on?

Thanks,
