Correct.

We've avoided any file movement that would also mean changes to the
build system.

I'm looking at these myself at the moment, as I still also maintain IcedTea
and that does the same thing of swapping in HotSpot bundles for Shenandoah
and aarch32. I'm thinking I'm going to have to clone the whole repo and
then just tarball the HotSpot subdirectory.

All the needed Shenandoah changes are in the HotSpot subdirectory. There are
a few minor differences outside that at present, but these don't affect the
code being built and we intend to get them upstream into 8u. I reviewed
what was there when doing a bulk import of the changes into git [0]. That
should soon be in the 8u Shenandoah git repository [1]

AArch32 does have changes in the root & jdk directories to handle the
architecture in configure and I had to cherry-pick these across to
IcedTea. I don't know how Debian currently handles this. Are there
local patches?  [2] [3] [4] [5]

Feel free to ask if you need any more help :)
