My superfluous comment actually referred to the additional request for
an OpenJDK bugzilla entry. I fail to see the point of this, given a
Sun bug ID is still needed to commit. Most of the bugs there just
seem to be in danger of bitrotting, and I'd prefer to avoid adding one
that's just going to be closed fairly swiftly anyway. It would be
nice if we could use OpenJDK bugzilla IDs for commits, and thus didn't
have to hassle Sun employees for Sun bug IDs. But that still doesn't
seem to have been implemented.
Ah .. yes .. well you may be right you don't need that if you
can push it directly. I keep having to look up that part of the
process myself. But IIIRC theory its supposed to be used to submit
patches, not report bugs (sans patch), and you had a patch, which
is why I suggested it.
Is the patch ok? If so, could you please allocate it a bug ID.
I overlooked that in your email. But I already asked Jennifer to allocate
one.
Thanks. I'll push once it's allocated.
Jennifer says she's doing it now.
