The Skara tooling is now open source

Hi all, we are happy to announce that the tooling for project Skara [0] is now open source and available at https://github.com/openjdk/skara. The Skara tooling includes both server-side tools (so called "bots") as well as several command-line tools: - git-jcheck - git-webrev - git-defpath - git-fork - git-pr - git-translate - git-info - git-skara The goal of project Skara is "... to investigate alternative SCM and code review options for the JDK source code ..." [0] and these tools represent the technical part of that work. For more information on how to get started with the tools, the workflows they enable and how we avoid vendor lock-in, please see the OpenJDK wiki page for project Skara [1]. We are more than happy to accept contributions to the Skara tooling, both via patches sent to the Skara mailing list [2] and in the form of pull requests on GitHub [3]. You can find open issues to work on in the Skara JBS project [4]. Please also file issues if you run into any bugs! We would like to thank everyone that has contributed to project Skara: - Joe Darcy - Mark Reinhold - Erik Joelsson - Tim Bell - Tony Squier - Tiep Vo - Stanislav Smirnov - Christian Tornqvist - Dalibor Topic - Jeff Dinkins If you have any questions, feel free to send them to the Skara mailing list [2] or come hang out in the #openjdk IRC channel [5].
