Hi all,
Since we are going into phase 2 of the project, I'd like to propose an
approval template to support this. I'd like to get feedback before
Sunday evening so that it can be baselined on Monday.
"Push requests for JDK 7 Update Stabilisation forests MUST be sent to
the [email protected] mailing list and SHOULD follow this
template:
Subject: Request for phase 2 approval for CR $NR - $Synopsis
With the body containing:
• either a link to the publicly visible bug on the bugs.sun.com site
(or its equivalent), or a description of the change in case that there
is no publicly visible bug to link to
• either a link to the publicly visible webrev or a link to the JDK 8
changeset, in case it's the the same patch as the corresponding
changeset committed for JDK 8.
• if the review is taking place somewhere else, a link to the public
review thread
• if the fix has already been reviewed for inclusion into jdk7u-dev,
the list of reviewers
• Provide rationale for why the fix should be approved, including the
benefit and risks involved, what testing has been done, and what the
results were.
• The Release Team might decide to defer the approval request to the
next update release, request more information or approve it.
Communication is taken care of by the project lead."
Cheers,
Edvard
