[11u] Announcement: Switch to Git/Github for 11.0.13 release cycle

[Hohensee, Paul]

I just tried to follow the directions on the wiki.

Against what repo should the backport be done, jdk16u or a personal fork of jdk16u? Based on how jdk commits work, I'd say the latter, but it's difficult for me to tell.

The commit command for use after resolving conflicts seems like it should use "Backport-of" rather than "Backport".

Thanks,
Paul

Hi,

there's this: https://wiki.openjdk.java.net/display/SKARA/Backports. Maybe it is not quite "final" yet.

For anybody interested in trying out the Skara backport process, you could do backports in 16u, 13u and as of today, I guess 15u, too.

I'm sure the Skara team is welcoming any feedback ��

Best regards
Christoph
