What is 11-pool Fix Version sued for?

[Langer, Christoph]

Hi Rob,

that sounds like a good suggestion. Obviously people, especially those that are not familiar with all the update project processes, will sometimes get something wrong. But that can always be corrected. ��

Can you, at the same time, please fix the 8-pool issues? In 8u the 8-pool version will only be picked up for Oracle releases currently. Openjdk8u pushes for 8-pool items are completely ignored by hgupdater.

Cheers
Christoph
