|

| 21 | Much of this information comes from Joe Darcy's informal notes
|
|---|
| 22 | with edits from Lana Steuck.

|

| 25 | <h2>Sources</h2>
|
|---|
| 26 |
|
|---|
| 27 | <p>
|
|---|
| 28 | Sources are kept in Mercurial repositories at:
|
|---|
| 29 | <a href="http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6">
|
|---|
| 30 | http://hg.openjdk.java.net/jdk6/jdk6</a>.
|
|---|
| 31 | Mercurial tags are used to mark the state of each repository with a
|
|---|
| 32 | name <b>jdk6-b<i>NN</i></b> where <b><i>NN</i></b> is a 2 or 3
|
|---|
| 33 | digit build number.
|
|---|
| 34 | <br>
|
|---|
| 35 | Once the process is final, source bundles will be made available
|
|---|
| 36 | at <a href="http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk6/">
|
|---|
| 37 | http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk6/

| 42 | <h2>Release Steps</h2>
|
|---|
| 43 |
|
|---|
| 44 | <p>
|
|---|
| 45 | The following steps represent the current process that should be
|
|---|
| 46 | followed prior to tagging the repositories.
|
|---|
| 47 | <br>
|
|---|
| 48 | <b>NOTE:</b> Some steps may be done in parallel.
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 50 | <ol>
|
|---|
| 51 | <li>
|
|---|
| 52 | Send out email to "jdk6-dev at openjdk.java.net"
|
|---|
| 53 | requesting any additional changes for this release
|
|---|
| 54 | and announcing the start of the release process.
|
|---|
| 55 | </li>
|
|---|
| 56 | <li>
|
|---|
| 57 | Perform full build and test on Linux, e.g. <tt>make all && make test</tt>.
|
|---|
| 58 | <br>
|
|---|
| 59 | Resolve test failures and repeat as necessary.
|
|---|
| 60 | </li>
|
|---|
| 61 | <li>
|
|---|
| 62 | <i>Recommended:</i> Perform same full build and test for all
|
|---|
| 63 | supported platforms and architectures.
|
|---|
| 64 | Leverage any available Build and Test systems.
|
|---|
| 65 | </li>
|
|---|
| 66 | <li>
|
|---|
| 67 | <i>Recommended:</i> Run TCK tests.
|
|---|
| 68 | Posting results is limited to saying:
|
|---|
| 69 | "all the tests pass so the build in question is Java(TM) compatible."
|
|---|
| 70 | </li>
|
|---|
| 71 | <li>
|
|---|
| 72 | Request that formal builds be done by Oracle Release
|
|---|
| 73 | Engineering as a verification, but also to have the
|
|---|
| 74 | official source bundles created and posted.
|
|---|
| 75 | </li>
|
|---|
| 76 | <li>
|
|---|
| 77 | Tag all the OpenJDK6 repositories and push those changesets
|
|---|
| 78 | into the public repositories as soon as the source bundles
|
|---|
| 79 | from Release Engineering are publicly posted.
|
|---|
| 80 | The tags can be created with the following command:
|
|---|
| 81 | <blockquote>
|
|---|
| 82 | <tt>sh ./make/scripts/hgforest.sh tag -f jdk6-b<i>NN</i></tt>
|
|---|
| 83 | </blockquote>
|
|---|
| 84 | </li>
|
|---|
| 85 | <li>
|
|---|

|
|---|
| 88 | <li>
|
|---|
| 89 | Send out official email
|
|---|
| 90 | to "jdk6-dev at openjdk.java.net"
|
|---|
| 91 | on this OpenJDK6 release, including test results,
|
|---|
| 92 | source bundle location, and the Change Summary page.
|
|---|
| 93 | </li>
|
|---|
| 94 | <li>
|
