Version strings and update build numbers (determining when an update release goes GA)

[Martijn Verburg]

Hi all,

The Adopt OpenJDK community has created an OpenJDK Build farm
<https://www.adoptopenjdk.net> for as many platforms as possible in order
to assist with early testing of things like backported patches in jdk8u.

We have a question on update and build numbers currently used in tags.

At the moment we are picking up the version string from the tag
1.8.0u152-b04, but we're a bit hesitant at making an binary release of that
particular tag as 1.8.0u152 isn't 'officially' released yet.

Is there a way to automatically tell when the update version is 'done'?
For example update 131 was released as jdk8u131-b11....

Cheers,
Martijn
